Key Factors to Consider
- Toronto Blue Jays hold a strong 76-55 record, playing very well at home; the Twins are 59-71 struggling mostly on the road with a weak batting average .237 overall. Blue Jays have covered the run line frequently in recent home games following losses, while Twins have lost six of seven recent AL night games.
- Joe Ryan is 2-0 with 3.00 ERA in previous starts against Blue Jays. Max Scherzer has been dominant recently, allowing just 5 runs in his last 25 innings. The Blue Jays have a good record at Rogers Centre, especially after losses.
- No significant injuries reported impacting starting pitchers or key hitters for either team in the immediate matchup.
- Game played at Rogers Centre favors Blue Jays; stadium and weather conditions are typical for late-August with no expected delays or elements favoring pitchers or hitters disproportionately.
