Toronto has started to show some life, winning seven of their last 10. Though, the big reason for the wins has been pitching. The Jays haven’t scored more than 5 runs in their last seven games. Texas has shown some ability to score, but were silenced last night. Tonight’s game features a strong pitching matchup as well with Estrada posting a 2.39 ERA and Lewis sitting at 3.20. Look for this to be a low-scoring battle.
