The pitching matchup for this game has J.A. Happ (0-3, 4.50 ERA) on the mound for the Jays to face Asher Wojciechowski (1-0, 2.25) of Reds. Happ has struggled in his three starts this year. He has allowed 8 earned runs in 16 innings. He does have 20 strikeouts with no walks, though. Wojciechowski is making his first start. He has had two appearances in relief, going 4 innings while allowing 1 earned run with three strikeouts and 1 walk. His WHIP is 1.00.
Toronto hammered the Reds on Monday in a 17-2 victory, easily hitting the over, which was set at 9. The Blue Jays are now 24-27 overall, 13-12 at home and 25-24 with the over. Cincinnati is 24-26 overall, 10-13 on the road and 29-19 with the over.
The Jays racked up 23 hits for their 17 runs on Monday. They scored in even of the nine innings of play. The Reds only threw three arms in the loss, but each gave up at least 4 earned runs. The group of Kendrys Morales, Justin Smoak, Russell Martin and Troy Tulowitzki combined for 11 hits and 12 RBI while Devon Travis and Ezequiel Carrera each had four hits.
Toronto put up a lot of hits on Monday and I think they will put up a lot of hits today as well. The Reds have an inexperienced arm on the mound and not a lot of bullpen support to turn to. The Jays should put up some more power numbers and push for a high run total. The Reds are likely to help a little as well as Happ has not been able to last long into games and has given up some runs in the process.
