The Jays have won four straight games, thumping the Tigers on Friday. Detroit will try and even the series, sending out right hander Matt Manning. With just two starts under his belt since a long stay on the IL, Manning has given up 6 runs in 10+ innings since returning. The Tigers will need innings from him on Saturday; the bullpen has struggled to a 6.75 ERA/L10 games. Gausman starts for the Jays. The All-Star has pitched well this season with very infrequent poor starts. He had a 2.97 ERA in June, putting up 50 K's and allowed just 2 runs in his last start. The Jays have been getting reasonable success from the pen of late.

The Jays have won four straight games, are top ten in slugging over the last 10 games, and are starting to get offense from their big bats, especially Bichette and Guerrero. They are tough on righ t handed pitching. The Tigers are still scuffling down in the basement at 27th in OPS/ L10 and 28th against right handers this season. I am wagering on the favored Jays today. Take Toronto on the run line at -1 1/2.
