#955/956 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Under 7.5 Runs – Minnesota Twins vs Toronto Blue Jays, Wednesday at 4:38 PM ET - Yesterday 3 of the 4 Wild Card match-ups finished under the total and this one was the most dominating under of the bunch as neither team topped 6 hits! We expect a repeat of something similar in terms of the final result here in Game 2 Wednesday. Jose Berrios the expected starter for the Blue Jays and he went 4-0 with a 2.44 ERA in his 8 day game starts this season! Also, in terms of current form, Berrios is coming off a strong September in which he held opponents to a .220 batting average while walking only 6 and striking out 38 in his 32 innings over his 5 starts for the month. Berrios spent his first 5 and 1/2 seasons in the bigs with the Twins and will look to take advantage of this opportunity today against the team that drafted him. He is a veteran with playoff experience and the same holds true for Sonny Gray of the Twins. The Minnesota right-hander also dominated afternoon action and also is coming into this outing in top form. Gray went 5-2 with a 1.80 ERA in his 13 day game starts this season and opponents hit just .185 against him! In the month of September he had a 2.00 ERA and in the month of August he had a 2.04 ERA! These are a pair of solid bullpens too and, the way these starters are going (and the bats were quiet yesterday), the bullpens may not be needed much anyway in what shapes up to be another pitchers' duel here. This one will, in all likelihood, be another tight low-scoring battle! Our computer math model projecting 5 to 6 runs here. We are going with the Under in this one.
