The Toronto Blue Jays will go for a 2-game sweep of the Miami Marlins tonight at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, New York. The Jays are unable to play at Rogers Centre due to COVID-19 restrictions but that’s ok, Buffalo will do just fine. Sahlen Field is the Jays AAA stadium and that is where the young guns of the Jays got their feet wet so they know it well, including tonight’s expected starter Alek Manoah. Manoah lived up to all of his expectations when he made his major league debut on Thursday against the New York Yankees in the Bronx where he held the Bombers to just 2 hits and struck out 7 over 6 innings, resulting in a 2-0 Toronto win. Miami is expected to send Pablo López to the hill to try to end their 4-game skid. López is just 1-3 on the season but has good numbers with an ERA of 2.71 and a 1.13 WHIP. Unfortunately for López, the Jays have won 3 of their last 4, are 9-1 in their last 10 interleague games, 9-1 in their last 10 against the National League East, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is on fire.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO BLUE JAYS
