Blue Jays Set to Unleash Devastating Power Surge—Will History Repeat?

Blue Jays Set to Unleash Devastating Power Surge—Will History Repeat?

Tonight is another pivotal game. If the Blue Jays win, they have tied up the series and reduced it to a best-of-three. If the Mariners win, they only need to win one of the next three to advance to the World Series. Even as old as he is, there are few guys you should feel more comfortable about on the mound than Max Scherzer. He wasn’t great this season, posting a 5.91 ERA away from Toronto, but the guy is a big game pitcher. The biggest concern is that he hasn’t pitched since September 24th. That’s a long time for him to be off. The good news is that Toronto saved their bullpen a bit yesterday, and Scherzer will go as deep as he can as he likely only has one more start in him after this if they advance to the World Series. Mariners hitters are batting just 11-for-54 against him, with only Julio Rodriguez being a true threat. Combatting Scherzer is Luis Castillo. He hasn’t pitched since the 15 inning contest against the Tigers so he is plenty rested. Castillo was traded for a few years ago to be the Ace of the club. He is now their 4th or 5th best arm, but that’s still extremely impressive. He’s been great at home this season, posting a 2.60 ERA. He did face Toronto twice this season and was knocked around in both games. He allowed 17 hits and eight earned runs over 10 innings this year.
