Blue Jays Look for Big Homestand

 

The Blue Jays are currently in the midst of a crucial eight-game home stand playing exclusively Boston and Tampa Bay, two division rivals in very similar positions in the AL East. After taking two of three from the Red Sox and capturing the series opener on Thursday, Toronto has a golden opportunity to create some separation in the AL East as the eye a daunting climb upwards towards New York. The Blue Jays have a very dangerous offense that ranks 7th overall averaging a shade over 4.75 runs per contest. They own the league's 3rd highest team batting average at .257 and rank 4th with a .325 team OBP. Vladimir Guerrero Jr leads the team with 18 home runs and 46 RBIs but there are no shortage of power options in this deep lineup. Starter Yusei Kikuchi gave the Jays six strong innings and was helped out by two home runs in a 4-1 win.

Toronto pitching has been vulnerable at times this season with the club ranking just 20th overall with a slightly inflated 4.06 team ERA. It has been a struggle for Jose Berrios who has battled inconsistency all year. He enters with a 5-4 record but a bloated 5.84 ERA over 15 starts. He was torched his last time out against Milwaukee yielding eight earned runs while lasting just 2.2 innings. It was his second rocky outing in a row after he was lit up by the White Sox back on 6/20.

Expecting good things from Berrios today, I think he will come out and have a solid performance.

 

He's due for a good game; he just wrapped up his streak of 2 bad games before he ruffles out 2-3 stellar starts.

I do not understand this throw a lot of offspeed before setting up the fastball thing to batters especially 1st inning - maybe he isn't feeling the fastball

I'll take that inning from Berrios. Nothing squared up, the fly out to right was the best hit ball and it really wasn't hit well.
