Toronto at Detroit

Toronto has won four in a row after routing the Tigers 12-2 on Friday night as Whit Merrifield homered and drove in four runs for the Blue Jays, who moved within seven games of first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East and are in the thick of the playoff race. Detroit lost its third in four games and fell 11 games under .500 overall and 19-24 at home. Oft-injured Matt Manning starts today and he has a 4.84 ERA and gave up four runs in five innings against Colorado on Sunday, which was his second appearance since April. Toronto hitters are a combined 11-for-34 for a .324 batting average and .979 OPS versus Manning. Kevin Gausman did not get a decision his past two starts, but he has allowed only seven runs in 23 innings his past four appearances and overall he is 7-4 with a 1.13 WHIP. The Tigers have lost 15 of 18 in the second game of a series and they are 15-38 versus the AL East. Take the Blue Jays - Max Play.
