This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the Toronto Blue Jays.

We feel that this line could in fact be a lot larger considering the massive talent gap between the starting pitchers. The visitors hand the ball to Anibal Sanchez (3-0, 1.93 ERA) who receives another start in the rotation after a strong debut for his team, with a 1.93 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over six starts. So are these early numbers sustainable? We absolutely do not believe that will be the case. Note that Sanchez finished 3-7 with a 6.41 ERA last year with the Tigers, including 2-4 with a 7.24 ERA on the road and only 1-4 with an 8.10 ERA in all day games. The home side goes with ace JA Happ (8-3, 3.48) who received a no-decision against the Rays on Wednesday despite giving up one hit and three walks with four strikeouts over five scoreless. Over 14 starts Happ owns a strong 10.2 K/9 and note that he was very strong in all "day" contests last year with a 6-4, 3.47 ERA. We think Sanchez finally has a meltdown here and we expect Happ to continue his steady progression. Lay the price with confidence, play on TORONTO.
