Total: 8.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Loss
The worst pitching matchup of the series goes today and the over/under number is reasonable.
Kendall Graveman hasn't won in more than five weeks. Graveman faced the Blue Jays at home and gave up six earned runs - including three homers - in 5 1/3 innings. Now he's throwing at a much more hitter-friendly ballpark against the league's top offense.
Graveman pitches to contact. He doesn't get a lot of strikeouts. That's rough when facing the Blue Jays, who rank No. 1 in runs and OPS and are No. 2 in homers.
I don't trust Blue Jays starter Drew Hutchison either. He's the weak link in Toronto's starting rotation with a 5.42 ERA. Hutchinson is not in good form giving up 17 runs on 21 hits in his last three starts spanning 14 innings.
