John Lackey has been solid this year but Roy Halladay is pitching like he did in 2003 when he took home the Cy Young award. Hallady is 5-1 averaging 7 innings per start with a 2.74 ERA. In his last three starts, he's gone 24 innings alllowing just 7 runs on 16 hits and one home run while walking just 4 batters. The Jays are 14-7 vs. LA over the past three seasons including 4-2 already this year. The risk here is that the game comes down to the bullpens where LA has a distinct advantage. But, given that Toronto is averaging 5.7 runs per game vs. 4.3 for LA, and we have Halladay in top form, that's a risk worth taking.
