McDonald just allowed 11 hits and 8 runs in 2.1 innings against the Blue Jays. He has a 5.46 ERA and 1.38 WHIP on the season. In 28.1 innings at home, McDonald has a 7.94 ERA and a .299 allowed batting average. Just ugly numbers across the board. I expect crooked numbers. Give me the over on Sunday afternoon.
