The Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Indians meet Saturday in MLB action at Progressive Field.
The Toronto Blue Jays look for a win after splitting their last six games. The Blue Jays have scored 16 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last eight games. The Blue Jays have split their last eight games when scoring four or more runs. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leads the Blue Jays with 60 hits and 41 RBI while Marcus Semien and Randal Grichuk have combined for 113 hits and 69 RBI. Ross Stripling gets the ball, and he is 0-3 with a 5.63 ERA and 36 strikeouts this season. This will be Stripling’s second career game against the Indians.
The Cleveland Indians look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Indians have scored seven runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last seven games. The Indians have won five of their last six games when scoring four or more runs. Jose Ramirez leads the Indians with 45 hits and 26 RBI while Eddie Rosario and Cesar Hernandez have combined for 82 hits and 44 RBI. Sam Hentges gets the ball, and he is 1-1 with a 6.20 ERA and 22 strikeouts this season. This will be Hentges’ first career game against the Blue Jays.
The Blue Jays are 5-1 in their last 6 road games and 2-7 in their last 9 overall. The Indians are 6-1 in their last 7 during game 2 of a series and 3-8 in their last 11 Saturday games. The under is 6-1 in Blue Jays last 7 games as a road favorite. The over is 7-3-1 in Indians last 11 home games. The Blue Jays are 3-13 in the last 16 meetings in Cleveland and 1-6 in the last 7 meetings.
The Toronto Blue Jays are playing solid baseball right now and their offense has been tearing the cover off the ball this week. Ross Stripling isn’t off to the best start this season, but you can certainly say the same thing about Sam Hentges. Neither of these pitchers look good. Still, we’re getting plus money with a talented, young Blue Jays squad that’s putting up crooked numbers. I’ll take the road underdog.
