Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Toronto Blue Jays.
After dropping the first two games of this series, I look for a motivated visiting side to make the most of this favorable pitching mismatch and to find a way to get the job done at the end of the afternoon. The Jays hand the ball to Marco Estrada (5-4, 3.58 ERA), who saw his four-game win streak snapped after giving up four runs over 2 1/3's innings in a setback to the Red Sox on Tuesday; suffice it to say, it was his shortest outing so far this season. So is it time to hit the panic button if your the Jays? Obviously not, Estrada is a veteran and those types of starts happen to every pitcher over the course of a long season, he has to be feeling pretty good about a bounce back here as he's a solid 3-1 with a 3.34 ERA on the road this year and 1-0 with a 3.33 ERA in all "day" games. The home side counters with Justin Verlander (0-1, 5.09 ERA) who walked five batters over six innings in a no-decision vs. Pittsburgh on Tuesday; the veteran would give up three runs off five hits. I give Estrada the nod in this match-up, I give the JAYS the big nod in the motivation department and with those two factors working in our favor, there's no question that this is the very definition of "great line value."
