Let’s stay north of the border with Toronto. They’ve won 5 consecutive games on Memorial Day and have averaged 7.8 runs in these games. Hutchinson is pitching with an ERA of 3.57 and a WHIP of 1.25 over his last 3 starts. When he pitches, the Jays average 9.5 runs per game. Noesi’s last 3 starts gave him an ERA of 6.94. Toronto has the edge in starting pitching, bullpen, hitting, power, speed and defense. Reyes should be activated today from Buffalo and should start at short. Joey “Bats” Bautista had a cortisone shot in his shoulder and is questionable, but I think he’ll play.
Update: Looks like Joey Bats is out for the day but I’m standing by my pick and still running with Toronto.
Today’s pick:
Toronto Blue Jays
