The Toronto Blue Jays struggled for the majority of September, but they're looking like their usual high-flying selves right now. Toronto can knock Texas out of the postseason for the second straight year in Game 3 of the American League Divisional Series in Canada.
- The UNDER is 4-0 in Blue Jays' last 4 home games.
- The UNDER is 5-0-2 in Lewis' last 7 starts.
- The Rangers are 1-8 SU in their last 9 during Game 3 of a series.
Colby Lewis and Aaron Sanchez will get the nod for the Indians and Jays, respectively. Lewis (6-5, 3.71 ERA) surrendered 19 home runs in 116 1/3 innings this season, with six coming in four starts after being activated from the disabled list on September 11. The 37-year-old went 0-4 with a 6.38 ERA in those four outings.
Sanchez (15-2, 3.00) led the AL in ERA during the regular season and was far and away Toronto's top hurler. The 24-year-old allowed three runs and struck out 21 in 19 innings over his last three starts.
The UNDER is trending in this one. The UNDER is 5-1-1 in the Rangers' last seven road games, and Toronto has gone below the closing total in each of its last four home contests.
