This is an 8* SUPER-PLAY on the Jays.

It's the final series of the regular season. So with that in mind, I feel this particular play sets up great from a situational stand point.

The Rays have clinched the AL Wildcard, and they'll face the Jays in the best of three opening round if Toronto can win this series. All the Jays have to do is win this series and they're in.

Tampa has nothing left to play for for the remainder of the regular season. It's dealing with several injury issues as well. Frankly, I don't see the Rays putting up much of a fight here this week North of the border, instead I expect them to already be planning for the playoffs.

No such luxury for the Jays though of course, as this is now "do or die."

Fortunately as well, this is definitely a starting pitching matchup that favors the home side as well.

The Rays go with Aaron Civale (7-4, 3.43 ERA), while the home side counters with Hyun-Jin Ryu (3-3, 3.31.)

Ryu is 4-1 with a 3.23 ERA in eight career starts vs. Tampa, while Civale is 1-0 with a 6.17 ERA in two career outings vs. Toronto.

I believe this line could/should in fact be a lot larger.

Lay the price with confidence, the play is TORONTO.

Good luck, NP
