The price is low enough to back Aaron Sanchez, a legitimate Cy Young Award candidate, against slumping Josh Tomlin.

Sanchez is 11-1 with a 2.74 ERA in his last 19 starts. Only once in his past 10 starts has Sanchez given up more than two earned runs. Sanchez has been strong on the road going 7-1 with a 2.40 ERA and 1.10 WHIP.

Tomlin started the season in high style going 11-3. But his ERA then was 3.43 and his metrics painted a different story. Now it's caught up to him. The right-hander is 0-3 with a 9.37 ERA in his last three starts. Going back to his last seven starts, Tomlin is 2-5 with a 6.26 ERA. Toronto is 21-10 the past 31 times facing a righty.

Tomlin also has given up 29 homers, tied for most in the majors with James Shields. Toronto has hit the second-most homers in the majors and is sixth in runs. The Blue Jays expect to have the left side of their infield - Josh Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki - back in the starting lineup today. They both missed last night's game.
