Toronto Blue Jays
The Blue Jays have been surging lately after a road sweep of the Red Sox and currently stand in the last Wildcard spot with a 2.5-game cushion ahead of the teams behind them. Yusei Kikuchi will get the nod for Tuesday's game and has been the Jays' most reliable starter recently, conceding one or zero runs in four outings. He has registered a 9-3 record, 3.67 ERA, and a 1.27 WHIP in 115.1 innings pitched this season. The squad is 7-3 in their last ten bouts and have dominated the Guardians, holding them to four runs in 20 innings. Toronto has a mixed offense led by 24-year-old slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. who has 18 homers with 69 RBIs and a .783 OPS on the season. However, the team is currently ranked 16 in offense scoring an average of 4.49 runs per game, and 4 in defense, allowing 4.10 points per game. With a power ranking of 6, and a record of 63-50, the Blue Jays will look to extend their winning streak on Tuesday.
