The Blue Jays are coming into this game with a 33-23 record overall and they are 15-13 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a loss in their last game which snapped a 2 game winning streak that they were on. They just won their 3-game series against the Kansas City Royals 2-1, had Thursday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Tigers on Friday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Friday. Yusei Kikuchi was the starting pitcher for them on Wednesday while José Berríos will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 4-2 with a 5.24 ERA this season. His team won 3 of their last 4 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 2 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 13 Ks on 3 hits in 7 IP against the Minnesota Twins. They scored 19 runs in their last series averaging just over 6 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 8 runs against them averaging just under 3 runs allowed per game.

 

The Tigers are coming into this game with a 23-33 record overall and they are 15-15 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game winning streak. They just won their 2-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 completing the sweep, had Thursday off as a rest day, and they are playing the series opener of a 3-game series with the Blue Jays on Friday. This will be the 1st game of the series on Friday. Rookie pitcher Alex Faedo was the starting pitcher for them on Wednesday while rookie pitcher Elvin Rodríguez will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 0-1 with a 10.13 ERA this season. His team lost 2 of their last 3 this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 10 earned runs, 4 homers, and 2 BB with 4 strikeouts on 11 hits in 4.1 innings played against the New York Yankees. They scored 8 runs in their last series averaging 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 4 runs against them averaging 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Blue Jays are coming into this game as a big favorite with the current betting odds. They are coming off of a rest day after losing the series finale of their series against the Royals but they still played well for most of that series and were scoring lots of runs as well. They are going up against a Tigers team that has been good at home this season and has been playing pretty well in their recent games but this is still one of the worst teams in the MLB and they are not going to sustain this kind of winning. They also have a rookie on the mound here in Rodriguez and with the way the Jays are hitting the ball and scoring runs recently, he is going to get blown up in this game considering he has not been great in his few appearances this season. The Jays have Berrios starting here and he has been struggling this season but he is still more reliable than the rookie in this spot and the Jays have still found lots of success this season with Berrios on the mound. They will be hungry to bounce back here after that bad loss in their last game. The best bet here is on the Blue Jays to win this game on the runline.

"It gets tough because you've got to cover eight, nine innings when the bullpen is already thin. So like I always say, pitching and defense wins. If Kikuchi comes throwing strikes, we have a good chance.” - Charlie Montoyo after his team’s loss against the Royals on Wednesday.

 

 

"Whatever (the Tigers) think is best for me, I trust them. I can only control what I can control, so whenever I'm on the mound, I'm going to try to compete as hard as I can and try to execute as much as I can. Anything besides that is out of my control." - Alex Faedo after their win against the Pirates on Wednesday.
