The Pittsburgh Pirates’ pitching staff has a 3.89 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP. Nick Gonzales leads the Pittsburgh Pirates with 53 hits and 21 RBIs, while Oneil Cruz and Bryan Reynolds have combined for 98 hits and 65 RBIs.
Mitch Keller gets the ball for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and he is 4-2 with a 3.86 ERA and 41 strikeouts this season. Keller is 1-1 with a 5.79 ERA and 12 strikeouts in his career against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Toronto Blue Jays are 25-27 on the year and play the Marlins and Orioles next. The Toronto Blue Jays are batting .243 on the season and have a .307 OBP, and a .374 slugging percentage. The Toronto Blue Jays’ pitching staff has a 3.82 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP.

Right when it looked like the Blue Jays were cooked and going to have a disappointing season, they’ve caught fire at home and are just two games out of a .500 record. Cease looks like an all-star with a 2.98 ERA and 1.22 WHIP, and he’s top five in strikeouts. In 30 home innings, Cease has a 2.10 ERA and a .204 allowed batting average. I’m not stepping in front of Toronto in this spot. The price is somewhat reasonable. Give me the Blue Jays to stay hot.
