7* Toronto (7:07 ET): Mother nature did not cooperate yesterday as the Red Sox and Blue Jays were rained out. That game will be made up as part of a doubleheader on August 7th -- in Toronto. In case you hadn’t heard, the Jays have been cleared to return “North of the Border.” Because of COVID-19 restrictions, they haven’t played a game at Rogers Centre since 2019. Tonight is the final game in Buffalo and the Jays could really use a win seeing as they trail Boston by seven games in the AL East and lost to them 13-4 on Monday.

Toronto has been forced to play its “home games” in both Dunedin, FL and here in Buffalo this season. Scoring runs - in either of these two parks - has generally not been an issue for them. In fact, they lead all of MLB in runs per game at home with 5.9! I think they’re going to produce here against Garrett Richards, who was originally slated to start yday’s game. Richards has a 5.40 ERA in three previous starts vs. the Blue Jays this season. He also has a 7.10 ERA and 2.052 WHIP his L7 starts overall.

Boston reshuffled its lineup for the season opener and that certainly worked as they scored eight runs in the first inning en route to a huge win. But today they face Robbie Ray, who has been one of Toronto’s most consistent starters. Ray has a 2.93 ERA and 1.053 WHIP in all starts this season and those numbers are even better over his L7 trips to the mound. Ray beat Boston (at Fenway Park) last month, holding them to three runs in six innings. He struck out 10. The Jays wound up winning that game 18-4! 7* Toronto
