The young core of the Toronto Blue Jays have no issue playing at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, NY, their AAA affiliate ball park. They know it well and showed that last night by downing the Miami Marlins in the first game of a 2-game set. Toronto’s Nate Pearson will feel right at home tonight when he is handed the ball for his third Big League start. Pearson has been delivering as expected. He is 0-0 with a 2.70 ERA and a WHIP of only 0.90. The Marlins are starting to spiral and their expected starter, Jordan Yamamoto, is not the answer. Yamamoto is 0-0 with an ERA of 9.00 and a 1.50 WHIP. Pearson will be extra motivated tonight to get his first Major League win and Vlady and company should have their way with Yamamoto.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO BLUE JAYS
