And now, the lineups…
Blue Jays
Marco Estrada: 18 IP, 3.50 ERA, 8.0 H9, 1.5 HR9, 3.5 BB9, 8.5 SO9
Red Socks
Chris Sale: 21 2/3 IP, 1.25 ERA, 4.6 H9, 0.4 HR9, 2.1 BB9, 12.0 SO9
Yesterday was the game against the Cy Young winner, but let’s be honest, Chris Sale is the truly terrifying pitcher in this Red Sox rotation. He’s been absolutely absurd so far this season, holding opponents to a hit every second inning while striking out 12 per nine. Marco Estrada will start for the Jays, and will need another dominant performance like his one on Saturday against the Orioles in order for the team to pull one out today.
