It's the third straight road game for Detroit after losing the first two at Toronto, 9-3 and 4-3. They've lost six in a row giving up 45 runs to drop to 29th in pitching ERA (6.73) with the second-worst bullpen (6.85 ERA). The offense is dead last in the majors in runs scored, on-base percentage, and slugging, and batters are hitting over .390 off starter Spencer Turnbull (13.50 ERA). Meanwhile, Toronto's offense is fourth in runs scored, sixth in on-base percentage, and eighth in slugging. The Blue Jays are clicking, winning seven of eight despite playing just two home games this year. This is the first home start for Chris Bassitt, who has had ERAs of 2.44 and 2.95 at home in the last two seasons. And Bassitt's teams are 25-4 when he starts against losing squads. Play Toronto.
