Toronto at Pittsburgh

Toronto plays its sixth straight road game here and looks out of gas, losing four of the last five and are on a 2-8 run overall. Giving the ball to Dustin McGowan (5.87) won't help. The Blue Jays have lost each of the right-hander's last three starts, a stretch in which he has no record and a 7.07 ERA. The Blue Jays are 9-24 in McGowan's last 33 road starts. Pittsburgh is home and goes with Edinson Volquez, who has been sharp, walking only six in 33+ innings with opponents hitting .230 off him. The Pirates are 14-4 in their last 18 interleague home games vs. a right-handed starter and 16-5 in interleague games as a favorite. And the Blue Jays are 1-4 in the last five meetings in Pittsburgh. Play the Pirates.
