The biggest strength for Texas is its pitching. The Rangers have the lower ERA, lower WHIP, and lower opponent batting average compared to Toronto. They have also allowed fewer baserunners overall, giving them a solid statistical advantage on the mound entering this matchup.
Toronto Looks to Avoid Another Series Loss
Toronto comes into the contest with a 39-43 overall record and an even 22-22 record at home. The Blue Jays recently lost twice to Texas after dropping two extra-inning games against Houston. Before those four consecutive defeats, Toronto earned a victory over Houston. The Blue Jays will be looking to stop their current losing streak on Sunday afternoon.
Toronto is batting .249 with 337 runs, 686 hits, and 83 home runs while posting a .311 on-base percentage and a .391 slugging percentage. On the pitching side, the Blue Jays own a 4.14 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP while allowing opponents to bat .243. Their staff has totaled 719 strikeouts with 292 walks, and Toronto is 17-18 in day games.
Toronto's biggest strength is its ability to consistently put the ball in play. The Blue Jays have the higher batting average and more hits than Texas, but they have scored fewer runs and hit fewer home runs. Combined with the recent losing streak, Toronto will need to improve in key situations to reverse the series.
