The UNDER has become a consistent play whenever the Toronto Blue Jays take the field, but it has been hitting with surprising regularity when they are on the road. The UNDER is 9-3 in the Jays’ past 12 games on the road with Toronto and their opponents averaging 6.7 runs per game. The Jays close out a three-game set with the Indians in Cleveland Sunday.
- The Blue Jays are 6-1 against the runline in their past seven games.
- The Indians are 8-3 in their past 11 games at Progressive Field.
- Josh Donaldson is expected to be back in the Jays’ lineup after missing the past two games.
Marcus Stroman has not looked like the ace the Blue Jays envisioned coming into the season, but the diminutive pitcher has been getting better recently. Stroman has a 3.27 ERA through his past eight starts while surrendering two or fewer earned runs on five occasions.
Corey Kluber has found his form as of late, as the Indians’ ace has posted a 1.65 ERA across his past seven starts. Kluber has gone through at least six complete innings in each of his past seven starts while holding opponents to one earned run or fewer five times.
