Toronto at Minnesota

Shaun Marcum was just not cut-out to pitch out of the bullpen. His 6+ ERA deemed a change was necessary and the Jays inserted him into the rotation. The move has paid substantial dividends, as the Jays are 6-2 in his starts. Marcum has been brilliant. He has worked 48 innings as a starter and allowed just 29 hits, pitching to an ERA of just 2.44. The Jays are a hot team right now, having won four straight and playing over .600 baseball in their last 40+ games. The same can't be said for Scott Baker. He has made six starts, and has pitched to a near 7 ERA. His time may be hinged on tonight's start. The Twins will again be without Justin Morneau, and the inconsistent pitching, has kept the Twins hovering around the .500 mar. Meanwhile the Jays have emerged the better team over the last month and a half. We like the Jays to make it two straight tonight.
