There are certain pitchers you look forward to fading especially when the price is right. Trevor Bauer is one of those pitchers. And the price is low enough to back the home Blue Jays with the superior starter in Marcus Stroman.
It's going to be difficult for the Indians to keep Bauer in their rotation with the way he's pitching. Only once during his first five starts has Bauer turned in a quality performance. Bauer has a 9.15 ERA in four night starts this season and has a 6.27 lifetime ERA in four career appearances versuse the Blue Jays.
The Indians' two best relief pitchers carry high fatigue ratings, too, after each pitching during the last two days. Closer Cody Allen threw a combined 40 pitches during the weekend while Andrew Miller made 26 pitches.
Stroman should be fine after leaving his last start after only three innings due to armpit tightness. He had allowed two runs or fewer in four of his five starts during April.
It's an added plus for the Blue Jays if they get back their starting left side of their infield today as both third baseman Josh Donaldson and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki could return from the DL.
