The Toronto Blue Jays are about to test a desert crowd that's already seen more runs than a taco truck on a Friday night, as they head into a matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks at 8:10 PM from the sun-baked confines of Chase Field. The Jays (7-12) are facing a D-Backs team (12-8) that's boasting a home-field advantage that isn't just the heat, with Zac Gallen (RHP, #23) on the mound sporting a 3.60 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 20 innings pitched.
Veteran Max Scherzer (RHP, #31) will try to tame Arizona's lineup, but he's got a 9.58 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over just 10.1 innings pitched - a far cry from his usual ace form. The Blue Jays will also be without Daulton Varsho, who's day-to-day, and lefty Lazaro Estrada on the 15-day IL. Make your pick or join the banter on StreakChat.
