After a huge double header sweep yesterday, the Blue Jays will look to keep the pressure on the Orioles with the third game of their four game series set to go this evening. The weather is a bit sketchy once again, but the forecast does ease up ahead of the hopeful 7:05 ET start time.Mitch White will get the ball for the Jays, hoping to bounce back from a couple of very bad outings. Against the Angels andhis last two times out, he has combined to allow 13 runs over 9.
In his 3 starts against the Jays, he is 0-1 with a 6.91 ERA over 14.1 innings. He has surrendered 11 runs on 20 hits and 7 walks, striking out 12. The Blue Jays have touched him up for a pair of home runs as well, one by Bo Bichette on August 9, and one by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. on August 15.Bo Bichette had a hell of a day yesterday, immediately paying dividends to his move up the lineup. He hit 3rd yesterday for the first time since May, although before that he was hitting 2nd.
Cavan Biggio is riding a bit of a hot streak right now. He has a 6 game hitting streak going, over which he has 3 home runs and a double. He’s been hitting well enough against righties that he should have worked himself back into a platoon against Santiago Espinal, who has really dominated lefties this year, but not so much the righties. Hopefully we get that the rest of the way.At risk of jinxing it, the Jays have reigned in Ryan Mountcastle a bit.
A fun stat from yesterday - in the first game yesterday, Anthony Santander had the 7th multi-homer game of his career. The Orioles are 0-7 in those games, the longest such streak in baseball history. A righty on the mound for the Jays means that Rougned Odor and Cedric Mullins probably get the starts. With Odor at 2B, Gunnar Henderson will slide around the infield, probably getting the start at 3B.Bo Bichette, with his 6-10 day that included a trio of home runs and 7 RBI, easily takes home the Monster Bat award. But he also gets the WPA King trophy as well, contributing .465 WPA over the two games, with .400 of that coming in the second game of the Jays’ double header sweep.
