The Blue Jays got dominated by Gavin Williams and now find themselves 2.5 games back of the final Wild Card spot after a brutal 6-1 loss to the Guardians.
On game 140 preview of Flight Deck, Dan Riccio breaks down Williams’ career-high 13 strikeouts over seven innings, Toronto managing just three hits, and another frustrating night for the Blue Jays’ offense.
We’ll also look at Spencer Arrighetti’s costly home run, and the decision to use Joe Mantiply in a high-leverage spot. But there’s no time to dwell on it.
Toronto has to win tonight behind Dylan Cease if they want to win the series and secure the tiebreaker over Cleveland in the Wild Card race. Cease has been the Blue Jays MVP this season, while Joey Cantillo takes the mound for Cleveland. Can the Jays’ bats finally wake up when it matters most?
We finish with Dan’s picks presented by bet365.
