GDB 117.0: Toronto Blue Jays seek series victory over Cleveland Guardians

The Toronto Blue Jays look to further solidify their spot in the AL Wild Card race Wednesday afternoon with a series win over the Cleveland Guardians.

The Jays have been rolling going 5-1 over their last six games in thanks to a series sweep over the Boston Red Sox, and a solid start against the Guardians. Toronto opened the series with a 3-1 win before dropping a 1-0 decision in game two on Tuesday.

Last night, Kevin Gausman once again got very little run support in a 1-0 victory. It’s a good thing his stuff has been great this year.

Today, it will be Alek Manoah taking the mound as he continues to rebound from a brutal start to the season opposite of Noah Syndergaard.

First pitch: 1:10 p.m EST —Sportsnet, Sportsnet 650.

Toronto Blue Jays: 65-51, 7.0 GB, – WCGB, +58 DIFF.

Cleveland Guardians: 55-59, 4.5 GB, 8.5 WCGB, -6 DIFF.

Moneyline: TOR -133; CLE +115.
