FAN APPRECIATION 'PLAY-BOOK!' (185-135 ALL MLB LAST YEAR!)
(MLB) Toronto vs. Tampa Bay,
Money Line: -139.00 Tampa Bay (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: Honestly, I could write a convincing argument for the Blue Jays to upset the Rays in this one, but I honestly don't think that's going to happen at all. Toronto has been well documented of late of having to deal with where it will play its home field games this season and I believe this continued distraction will in fact be a detriment to the team on the field of play today. Hyun Jin Ryu was 14-5 with a 2.32 ERA last year, but his counterpart Charlie Morton was 16-6 with a 3.05 ERA.

The pick: The Rays are picked by many to at least earn a wildcard spot in the playoffs this year and I believe they'll take advantage of this situation and find a way to get the job done at home on Opening Night.

8* PLAY-BOOK on the Tampa Bay Rays.
