Two of the American League East bottom feeders will meet again tonight for the second game of a 4-game set when the Toronto Blue Jays host the Baltimore Orioles at Rogers Centre. Baltimore had a 3 run lead last night going into the ninth and found a way to blow it, with Toronto winning in 10. The Jays will send their best hurler, southpaw J.A. Happ, to the mound. Happ has a mark of 7-3, with a 4.08 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and in his last 3 turns, he is 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. Toronto could see the return of Josh Donaldson tonight, which would shore up the hot corner and add a big bat to the offense. Baltimore will send Andrew Cashner to the rubber and he has struggled. Cashner is 2-7, with a 5.02 ERA, a 1.67 WHIP, and in his last 3 starts, he is 1-2 with a 5.62 ERA and a 2.25 WHIP. Baltimore has been awful on the road at 9-24. The Orioles are 3-8 in their last 11 road games against lefties and they are 2-5 in their last 7 meetings with Toronto. The only bright spot for Baltimore has been Manny Machado, who more than likely will be leaving town. Maybe Buck Showalter should do the same. Consider our friends north of the border tonight.
