The Detroit Tigers have edged closer to the top of the AL Central with victories in four of their last five games. They handed the Toronto Blue Jays an 11-0 defeat last night, but I think the Jays will come back strong in Tuesday's match-up.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - The Blue Jays hand the ball to Aaron Sanchez (5-1, 2.99 ERA) who shut out the Bronx Bombers covering 6 2/3 innings of a 7-0 win his last start. Sanchez is 4-0 with a 2.38 ERA in six road starts this season. The Tigers counter with Matt Boyd (0-1, 3.94). Detroit has lost each of the southpaw's three outings this season and he conceded four runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings while taking the loss in a 5-4 setback against the Yankees his last start.

2. Situational - Toronto's 23 home runs against left-handers is the second best mark in baseball this season. They're 4-1 in their last five games vs. a left-handed starter and they'll be eager to swing the bats again after getting shut out last night.

3. X-Factor - Boyd made two starts for Toronto during his rookie season last year before getting dealt to Detroit. He took the loss while allowing five runs on seven hits in six innings against his former club later in the season.

Selection: This is a play on the Toronto Blue Jays (10*)
