This is an 8* ART OF THE GAME on the Toronto Blue Jays.
Setting the scene: We had a play on Toronto last night and the Jays were unable to take advantage of a very favorable matchup. We expect the home side to bounce back this afternoon though.
Alex Cobb: He's 0-0 with a 4.09 ERA. In his most recent start he gave up four runs off nine hits over six frames in a no-decision against the Yankees on Thursday. He's looked "ok" in two starts back after returning from Tommy John surgery, but obviously faces a very stiff test today vs. this determined Jays line-up.
Marco Estrada: He's 8-8 with a 3.68 ERA. The veteran has scuffled of late, most recently giving up four runs over 2.1 innings in what turned out to be a blowout 13-3 loss to the red hot Red Sox on Friday. Estrada has a big opportunity to turn things around today and improve upon his respectable 3.55 ERA at home.
The bottom line: Estrada has admittedly struggled of late and he hasn't had much success against the Rays in the past, but we're still going to give him the small nod in this matchup. Cobb has yet to truly be tested this year. Toronto is in the thick of the playoff hunt, but has also been struggling with consistency at the plate. There's no better opponent or moment to get things turned around though! We don't foresee another upset in the cards today as we're expecting the home side to come in razor focused. Play on TORONTO.
