Daily MLB Lineup Tips
Injury-Riddled Blue Jays Look to Win Series vs. D-backs
The Toronto Blue Jays are riding the high of a dramatic walk-off win, but they enter Wednesday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with a major question: who is going to play center field?
The Center Field Scramble
The Blue Jays’ outfield depth is being seriously tested. Already missing multiple outfielders to injury, Toronto lost two more center fielders during Tuesday’s game. Jonatan Clase left with a bruised knee after being hit by a pitch, and his replacement, Myles Straw, sprained his ankle crashing into the wall an inning later. By the end of the night, the Blue Jays had used four different players in center.
“A lot was going on,” manager John Schneider said. “I didn’t really have Will Robertson playing center on my bingo card. It’s cool that we have guys that can be versatile.” How a team navigates a sudden injury crisis is a key topic in our expert betting guide.
Despite the chaos, the Blue Jays pulled out a 5-4 victory thanks to back-to-back, ninth-inning home runs from Bo Bichette and Addison Barger.
The Pitching Matchup
Toronto will look for a series victory behind lefty Eric Lauer (2-1, 2.37 ERA), who has been solid this season and boasts an excellent 2.44 career ERA against the Diamondbacks.
Arizona will counter with their own veteran left-hander, Eduardo Rodriguez (2-3, 6.27 ERA). The D-backs are looking to bounce back after letting Tuesday’s game slip away on two bad pitches from their reliever. This matchup of veteran lefties will be a key focus on the scores and odds board.
The Diamondbacks are still in the thick of the Wild Card race among National League MLB teams and need a win to get their road trip back on track. To see who our experts think will win this intriguing matchup, check out our daily MLB picks.
