AMEDEUS' MLB AL EAST TOTAL OF THE MONTH!
(MLB) Toronto vs. Tampa Bay,
Total: 8.50 | 100.00 Over
Result: Loss
The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 1-1 record this season and they have seen at least 10 runs total in both of their games. They opened up the season with an 8-2 win over the Rays, but they followed up with an 8-2 loss to the Rays in their last game. They are going to have Yusei Kikuchi starting in this game and he has struggled a lot over the last 2 seasons. He was awful 2 years ago as he was one of the worst starters in this rotation but he improved a lot more last season. He started to unravel again near the end of last season though and already he has been awful in Spring Training this year. He started in 3 games, going 1-2 with a 16.43 ERA as he allowed 14 earned runs in a little under 8 innings pitched. He was not good against the Rays last season either as he allowed at least 3 earned runs in each of his last 3 starts against them, and now the Rays bats are hot coming off that win where they scored 8 runs. Zack Littell is starting for the Rays here and he has been good in Spring Training this year. He went 1-0 with a 1.35 ERA as he allowed 2 earned runs in a little over 13 innings pitched, but he also gave up 12 hits in those which will be an issue here since the Blue Jays do have a very potent lineup. Even in his last start against the Blue Jays last season, he allowed 3 earned runs in a little over 1 inning. Both of these teams have been hitting very well in these first 2 games and with the starters going in this game, there is going to be plenty of runs from both sides. Between these two teams, there will be enough runs in this game to push it over the total.
