- Date: 2025-08-23

- Location: loanDepot park, Miami, Florida
Game Overview
The Toronto Blue Jays, currently leading the AL East with a 75-54 record, host the Miami Marlins (60-68) in the second game of the series. The Blue Jays won the series opener 5-2 and are favored to continue their strong performance. Toronto starts Jose Berrios (9-5, 4.00 ERA), while Miami counters with Janson Junk (6-2, 4.04 ERA).
Key Factors to Consider
- Toronto has a potent offense with 630 runs scored and solid pitching (4.20 ERA, 1.26 WHIP). Miami has struggled below .500 overall, though Janson Junk has been effective in limited starts. Toronto won the prior game convincingly and has recent momentum despite a slight dip in form (3 losses in the last 5 games).
- Toronto leads the season series, having beaten Miami in the prior game 5-2. Toronto’s Berrios has historically struggled against Miami but the current form favors Toronto. Miami's Junk is making his first start against Toronto, adding some uncertainty.
- No major injury news impacting starting lineups or key players available for either team as of current reports.
- The game takes place at Miami’s loanDepot park, a neutral factor slightly favoring Marlins with home crowd but Toronto’s stronger lineup offsets this. Weather expected to be stable with no impacts on gameplay.
- Toronto, vying to maintain AL East leadership and playoff positioning, has high motivation. Miami, out of playoff contention, motivates mainly to spoil Toronto but less consistent in performance.
