The Toronto Blue Jays will try to even things up today in the ALCS when they send the southpaw J.A. Happ to the hill to face the Indians’ Josh Tomlin. Happ has had an incredible year, posting 21 wins, with an ERA of 3.15 and a WHIP of 1.19. The Jays are 4-1 in their last 5 road games and 10-1 in Happ’s last 11 road starts. Josh Tomlin is 14-9, with an ERA of 4.37, a WHIP of 1.18 and has served up 36 homers which will have the sluggers from the North chomping at the bit. Cleveland is 1-4 in Tomlin’s last 5 starts against the American League East, and 1-6 in his last 7 starts on 4 days’ rest. Jim Wolf is calling it today and road teams are 4-0 with him behind the dish. I like Toronto in this one.
Today’s pick:
