Coming into the season, many considered the Blue Jays to possess all of the right pieces in order to contend for a title. At the dish, you can’t go wrong with any bat within this lineup, but it has been the scorching hot play of Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and George Springer that has carried this Blue Jays squad of late. Pitching-wise, Baltimore has had similar struggles in comparison to their hitting numbers as a whole, and they will be relying on Wells heavily to navigate efficiently through a very potent Blue Jays lineup. The biggest storyline of this contest may be Kevin Gausman’s first pitching appearance against his former team since he was dealt a few short years ago. Look no further than first-baseman Ryan Mountcastle, who could end up being a huge contributor in possibly covering the spread after he crushed a pair of long balls on Wednesday and has increased his season home run total from ten to twelve in just one game. On the year, Mancini is mashing a healthy .290 while also maintaining an impressive .797 OPS.
