The 70-59 Toronto Blue Jays lost the series opener to the 61-68 Cleveland Guardians last night at Rogers Centre, 5-2, and have now lost three straight, but I expect they get back on track today in game 2 of their 3-game set. Toronto is expected to send lefty Hyun Jin Ryu to the hill and he has been sharp since returning from Tommy John surgery. Ryu is 2-1 with an ERA of only 1.89, a 1.05 WHIP, and is 2-0 in his career against the Guardians with a 2.35 ERA. Rookie southpaw Logan Allen is expected to tap the rubber for Cleveland. Allen comes in at 6-6 with a 3.31 ERA and a 1.34 WHIP. The Jays have scored only 5 runs during their 3-game skid but that won’t last with their explosive offense.
