To be truthful, Giolito’s adopted that up with an excellent summer season. Nevertheless, he’s additionally proven latest indicators of slippage, together with strolling 14 batters in his final 4 outings. Sadly, he’s in all probability going to should be excellent to win tonight as a result of Kevin Gausman is on the hill for the Jays and he has a 0.90 ERA over his final 4 begins. He’s additionally pitched deep in these video games (piling up 30 innings of labor) whereas solely strolling 4 guys. If this sample holds, prepare to spend so much extra time watching the Blue Jays bat tonight than the Purple Sox.
So far as the lineup goes, Masataka Yoshida is batting cleanup once more, which I discover fully ridiculous given he has simply 4 further base hits (and 0 dwelling runs) over his final 29 video games. He’s additionally posted a putrid .579 OPS over that stretch. It’s maddening a man with these numbers is being given the chance to bat 4th in a sport of this magnitude!
