I’ll try the Jays in this one. Gausman is 2-1 in his last three starts and he’s not pitching too badly. In that time Gausman has eight earned over 19.2 total innings. As for Lorenzen, he’s given up seven earned over his last 10.0 innings in two starts.

On Friday the Jays came back from a 5-4 deficit in the fifth and powered out the win. The bullpen was great on 4.1 innings, zero earned, two hits, one walk and four strikeouts. We’ll probably have another close game Saturday but Toronto should have a solid shot.
