Free MLB Pick
Sonny Gray held the jays to two earned runs in seven innings back at the O.co Coliseum but he did allow nine hits and two walks over seven innings with one HR. Normally it’s a different ballgame at Rogers where a visiting pitcher can get lit up with that many baserunners. Mark Buehrle has been steady all season and brings a 6-1 home record and 3.17 ERA to the mound today. He hasn’t been as good during the day with a 3.71 earned run average in nine starts.
