Minnesota finally got the monkey off their back yesterday, ending years of futility in the playoffs with the win. They will have the advantage on the mound as they look to take the series from the Blue Jays. Sonny Gray went 8-8 during the regular season with a 2.79 ERA. Gray was great down the stretch, allowing three earned runs in his last 21 innings. Gray has been one of the game's best starters in 2023, holding 21 of his 32 opponents to two or fewer runs. Toronto’s Jose Berrios was 11-12 with a 3.65 ERA during the regular season. In his last two starts, he allowed eight runs in 11 ⅔ innings in his last two starts and four-plus runs in five of his last ten outings.

Play on Minnesota. This is a 3% play.
