After losing 2 out of 3 games at Rogers Centre to the bottom dwelling Los Angeles Angels, the Toronto Blue Jays look to get back on track tonight when they host another bottom feeder, the Minnesota Twins. Two lefties go at it tonight, with Pat Dean starting for the Twins and Francisco Liriano for the Jays. Dean is 1-3 on the season, with a 5.48 ERA and in his last start on June 17th against the Yanks, he was drilled, giving up 7 runs in just 2-1/3 innings. Liriano is 6-12 on the season, with a 5.21 ERA and is 2-1 in 4 career starts against the Twins. The Twins are 0-7 in their last 7 overall, 0-4 in their last 4 road games, 1-10 in their last 11 against a team with a winning record, 17-45 in their last 62 meetings with Toronto and 8-24 in their last 32 at Rogers Centre. With all their weapons and with Joey Bats’ (Bautista) back in the line up, the Jays should score some runs.
Tonight’s pick:
Toronto Blue Jays
