Toronto at Baltimore

Toronto is a bad road team with little offense at #15 in runs scored, and #22 in on-base percentage. They come off a 7-0 loss to the Orioles yesterday as a favorite. Blue Jays young lefty Thomas Pannone makes his second Major League start and the Baltimore hitters have already faced him, seeing him six days ago. He went 0-4 with a 5.36 ERA at Triple-A Buffalo this season. The Blue Jays have lost five straight on the road and are 6-23 against lefty starters. Baltimore plays its sixth straight home game and has a good young southpaw on the mound. Starter Josh Rogers posted a 2.07 ERA in his last three turns at Triple-A and has a 3.54 ERA in 24 overall starts this season in the minors. He has been particularly tough on left-handed hitters this year, holding them to a .167 average. Baltimore is on a 5-1 run at home against teams with losing road marks, so back the home dog again and play Baltimore.
