Here's some info I pulled together for tomorrow. I kind of like the under BC, due to the trends and the historical under inclination head to head between these two teams..
Saunders
2.7 Day ERA
4.63 Home ERA 1.68 WHIP
1.53 WHIP versus Lefties versus sub 1 ERA Righties
5.4 ERA Career vs <st1:City><st1
lace>Oakland</st1
lace></st1:City>, 3.65 on the year with 2 starts.

<st1:City><st1
lace>Toronto</st1
lace></st1:City> plays the Halos abnormally well and considering it an outlier, Saunders has given up 2,1,3,4,2 in his last 5 starts. His last 5 game inflated home ERA could be due to his bout against hitting teams like <st1:City><st1
lace>Detroit</st1
lace></st1:City> and <st1:City><st1
lace>Boston</st1
lace></st1:City>. His ERA has also been creeping up as the year goes along.
Blanton
4.56 Day ERA
5.27 Away ERA 1.36 WHIP
Career 3.69 Head to head with Halos, 3.44 on the year with 3 starts.
1.33 ERA versus Lefties Sub 1 ERA Righties

After having a great June and a terrible July, Blanton’s ERA seems to coming down a little. Still can’t discount the road pitching woes.
Let me know what you guys think.
