The set-up: Toronto roared from behind to win 8-6 over the visiting Metropolitans on Tuesday and with its ace coming to the mound, I'm predicting another victory on Wednesday as well. The visitors go with Corey Oswalt, while the home side goes with Marcus Stroman.
The pitchers: Oswalt is so far 0-1 with a 9.82 ERA. In his first career start he'd allow six runs over 2.2 innings to the Marlins on Friday. Oswalt isn't expected to be in the starting rotation much longer with others returning from injury.
Stroman is so far 1-5 with a 6.02 ERA. He most recently allowed two runs off five hits over seven innings while striking out four in a win over Detroit on Friday. It was his second straight quality effort since coming off the DL, so there's no reason not to think that the hard-throwing right-hander won't be able to carry that momentum over here as well.
The pick: Note as well that New York is now just 2-6 (-3.2 units) this season in all inter-league games, while Toronto is 8-3 (+6.5 units) in all inter-league contests. I think Stroman will easily out duel his younger counterpart, making the home side well worth the price of admission in my estimation.
