The Toronto Blue Jays and Colorado Rockies face off on Friday in an MLB showdown at Coors Field.
Blue Jays Continue to Win With Ryu
The Blue Jays aree going to send Hyun Jin Ryu to the mound and the Yankees have won the last four games started by him. In his last game against the Guardians he only gave up two runs, and each of those runs was on a home run ball. Over his last four starts he has given up only two runs total. The Blue Jays last series came against the Nationals and he won two of those three games. The Blue Jays are averaging 4.5 runs while their pitching is giving up 4.02 runs per game.
Rockies Want Season Over
The Rockies are playing like a team that wants their season to be over, and even at Coors Field, this offense has had some issues scoring runs. On Wednesday the Rockies only scored three runs and that led to another loss. Alan Trejo did hit a home run in the game. The Rockies are averaging 4.35 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.84 runs. The offense is raked 19th while the pitching is ranked 29th. On the mound for the Rockies is Chris Flexen who sits with a 1-6 record and an ERA of 6.94. In his last start against Baltimore, he went five innings giving up four hits and three runs.
Shane’s Free Pick
This is going to be a comfortable victory for the Blue Jays. The Rockies bats have been cold heading into this game, and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going against Ryu. Look for the Rockies to score only a run or two total. The Blue Jays are going to have no issue running up the score against Flexen and this will be a blowout victory by Toronto. Back the Blue Jays -1.5.
