This is a 7* on TORONTO

Toronto goes for its second series win of the young season Wednesday afternoon. After taking two of three from the Yankees, the Blue Jays won the series opener 6-2 here in Arlington. But they lost yesterday by a score of 7-4. It was the most runs allowed by Toronto pitching in a game so far in 2021. Hyun-Jin Ryu, who has never faced Texas, should get them back on track this afternoon. Ryu allowed just two runs and four hits in 5 ⅓ in his first start. While he did not factor into the decision, the Jays won that game 3-2 in 10 innings. This is a team that expects to contend for a playoff berth and possibly win the division. The Rangers, on the other hand, are probably going to finish last over in the AL West. It was an ugly first outing for today’s starter Kyle Gibson. He was handed a 5-0 lead on Opening Day in Kansas City, but immediately gave it back as he gave up five runs after four hits and three walks. He retired just one batter. How can you not want to play against that? The Rangers have yet to have back to back big games at the plate this year. Play on TORONTO
