How good would the Yankees be if they were healthy? Savages, who will be clinching their division in due time, are in Toronto. Ineffective starter J.A. Happ has given up 13 runs over his last 15 innings, with a 6.75 ERA over his last seven starts. Jays, eliminated in June but better of late, counter with Sean Reid-Foley. He’s allowed one run over nine innings in his two starts since being recalled from Triple-A. Can he keep the Jays in the game until they get to Happ? 20 units on the Jays. … Astros, like the Yanks, are alone at the top. Wade Miley, 4-0 last seven starts, should put up 0’s facing the O’s in Baltimore. Dylan Bundy has never beat the Astros. Can’t believe tonight is the night. 10 units on Houston.

Chris Sale scattered two hits over eight innings and the Red Sox grounded the Angels 3-0 in a tidy 2 hours, 16 minutes. Quick W takes us to -424 oilcanboyds.
