The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from taking a series from the best team in the American League, but they'll have to do it without Vladimir Guerrero Jr. In today's rubber match against the Tampa Bay Rays, the Blue Jays are looking to bounce back from a 7-6 loss and gain momentum in the wild-card race. With a record of 62-66, Toronto is fourth in the AL East and needs every win they can get. The game is set for 5:10 PM ET at Tropicana Field, and the Blue Jays are determined to make a statement.
In this episode, we break down the pitching matchup, focusing on Drew Rasmussen's dominance for the Rays, who has won six straight starts. We discuss Toronto's rotation options, including veterans Max Scherzer, Shane Bieber, Dylan Cease, Jose Soriano, and Simeon Woods Richardson, and the challenge of a bullpen game with several arms on the IL. We analyze the Blue Jays' lineup without Vladdy, who is on the 7-day IL, and the impact of injuries to Ernie Clement and Brett Bateman. We also highlight the need for players like Bo Bichette and George Springer to step up, and the importance of plate discipline against Rasmussen. We cover the bullpen concerns, with Jake Fraley, Jonathan Heasley, Manuel Rodriguez, Griffin Jax, and Spencer Arrighetti all on the IL, and the keys to winning a low-scoring game. Finally, we give our bold predictions for the outcome, with one of us calling for a 5-4 extra-innings win and the other a 6-3 victory.
