It's been a rough start to the season for the Blue Jays. The Jays are four games out of first place in the AL East, tied with Tampa heading into Game 2 of this series at Tropicana Field. I like the Rays to win in a pitcher's duel this afternoon.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Rays will send Chris Archer to the mound, and he's coming off his best performance of the season so far. Archer (1-4, 5.47 ERA) tossed 6.2 scoreless innings, striking out 10 in a win over the Orioles in his last start. Archer has seen more of the Blue Jays than any other team, going 5-3 with a 3.26 ERA in 15 starts over the last three seasons.
2. Batter vs. Pitcher - The Toronto lineup has had very little success against Archer, batting .180 with 61 strikeouts over a combined 205 at bats. Jose Bautista is batting .147 with five strikeouts in 34 career at bats versus Archer.
3. X-Factor - Evan Longoria is batting .381 lifetime versus Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ.
Selection: This is a play on the Tampa Rays (10*)
