The Toronto Blue Jays have ridden some timely hitting, and pitching to eight straight wins and the lead in the AL East. Tampa Bay has struggled offensively, but the good news is that they have produced 11 runs and 22 hits through two games in this series. That will be helpful, but so will Chris Archer who has not allowed a single run in each of his last two starts, and certainly looks to cool down the Jays here. Archer has dominated the Jays' lineup in four career starts where he has not lost, and owns a 2.01 career ERA against them. Liam Hendriks had a strong first outing, but in his only career start vs. Tampa Bay he gave up a pair of long balls and 4 runs in 5.1 innings. The Rays own a 10-3 mark in the division behind Archer in his last 13, and will salvage a game in Toronto. Go with Tampa Bay.
