The Blue Jays, 25-24 on the season, are averaging 4.92 runs per game and their offense&#8217;s .750 OPS (on-base plus slugging) ranks sixth among the 30 MLB teams. Toronto&#8217;s hitters, however, will be facing three Cleveland starters whom they have yet to face in MLB regular-season play. The Blue Jays pitching staff ranks 15th with a 3.94 earned-run average, while the relievers&#8217; 3.57 ERA is eighth-best.
The Indians, who have a 27-21 record, are averaging 3.98 runs per game and rank 23rd with a .672 OPS. On the mound, Cleveland&#8217;s 3.67 staff ERA is ninth in MLB and that is bolstered by the Indians&#8217; second-best relief ERA of 2.67.
Lefthander Hyun-Jin Ryu (4-2, 2.53 ERA, 8.8 strikeouts per nine innings) will start in Friday&#8217;s matchup opposite rookie righthander Eli Morgan (0-1, 3.95 ERA, 8.6 SO/9 at Columbus of Triple-A East), who will be making his MLB debut. Ryu, who will be facing Cleveland for just the second time in his career, has helped his teams go 8-6 in his last 14 away-favorite starts with the total going UNDER 10 times.
Righthander Ross Stripling (0-3, 5.63 ERA, 10.1 SO/9), who pitched seven scoreless innings in his last appearance on May 24, will start on Saturday opposite rookie lefty Sam Hentges (1-1, 6.20 ERA, 9.7 SO/9). Stripling will also be facing Cleveland for just the second time in his career. His teams are 10-6 in his last 16 away starts, with the OVER hitting eight times with two pushes. Hentges, who will be making his fourth MLB start, has allowed a .344 / .419 / .609 batting slash line to righthanded batters through his first 20.1 MLB innings, and the Blue Jays have a righty-heavy lineup.
Lefthander Steven Matz (6-2, 4.28 ERA, 10.5 SO/9) will start in Sunday&#8217;s matchup, while Cleveland will counter with righthander Aaron Civale (7-1, 3.04 ERA, 7.0 SO/9). Matz has a 0.68 ERA in 13.1 career innings against Cleveland, and the Blue Jays are 5-1 in his last six away starts. The total has also gone UNDER in seven of Matz&#8217;s last 11 away starts. Civale, who will be facing Toronto for the first time in his career, has helped Cleveland go 9-5 in his last 14 starts at home, but the total has gone OVER in six of the last seven.
The Blue Jays have a travel day on Monday before beginning a three-game home series against the Miami Marlins at Sahlen Field in Buffalo.
