This is a 6* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Toronto Blue Jays.
Setting the scene: The stakes are high North of the border right now, as Baltimore and Toronto battle it out for wild card positioning. The Jays took Game 1 of this important series, while the Orioles bounced back with a 2 out, top of the 9th, 2-run shot, 3-2 victory in Game 2 last night. Suffice it to say, we think the stage is now set for the home side to respond in a big way.
Ubaldo Jimenez: He's 7-12 with a 5.71 ERA. For the most part he's been terrible this year. He's been a little better of late, but in his last outing he'd fall apart again, giving up four runs in the setback. Note that he's 3-7 with a 5.55 ERA on the road this season.
Marcus Stroman: He's 9-9 with a 4.34 ERA. He enters off a gem against the Yanks on Saturday, going seven scoreless and striking out five. Stroman has now posted three straight quality starts and in four of his last five overall. He now looks to close the season with a double digit win mark and move above .500. Note that he's 4-2 with a 4.55 ERA at home.
The bottom line: For us, this one comes down to the starting pitchers. Jimenez has proved time and again that he can't be trusted in these situations and whle Stroman has admittedly struggled with consistency as well this year, he comes into this big game on top form. We think the hard-throwing right-hander easily outduels his struggling counterpart and expect the home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Play on TORONTO.
