'Make or Break'
It's make or break for Toronto Blue Jays who embark on a ten game road swing that will see the club play four in Oakland, three in Anaheim and three in Tampa. Jays have had success away from the friendly confines of Rogers Center posting a 22-18 record but are just 3-7 the past ten on the road. Opening the series in Oakland with Dickey (6-7, 4.24 ERA) the Jays have a tough one. The knuckler has lost three straight surrendering 6 long-ball, 12 runs over 20 1/3 innings of work and heads to the mound 1-5 on the road with Jays 1-6 over his seven starts. Stroman (4-2, 4.01 ERA) in GM2 Toronto has a shot as the right-hander has allowed just three earned runs over his last two starts and the hurler has surrendered 2 or less in five of his six since moving into the starting rotation. Tough-luck Burhrle (10-5, 2.50 ERA) gets the call in GM3. The lefty is winless over his last five outings, but does have a 3.44 ERA over that stretch. Those choosing to side with Toronto can take comfort in knowing Jays are 2-0 vs A's w/Buehrle. In the finale, Hutchison (6-6, 3.81 ERA) off his best outing of the season hurling 7 innings of 1 run ball in a win over Brewers tries for a repeat performance. Hutchison splits make him an interesting choice, Jays are just 2-5 at home with the righty but shine on the road when he takes the ball posting a 7-2 mark.
