Premium Pick

Toronto clinched the AL East title this week and manager John Gibbons rested his key players while losing the last two games after clinching the division. 36-year-old starter Mark Buehrle (14-7) looks worn out with the team 1-3 his last four starts when they were actually trying to win. He's allowed 14 runs over 20 1/3 innings combined and has a 6.11 ERA in three starts against the Rays in 2015. Toronto is a .500 road team and the Blue Jays are 1-4 in Buehrle's last five road starts. Tampa Bay comes in off a three-game sweep of Miami and has won six of their last nine overall. The Rays are 10-4 at home against a left-handed starter, plus on a 4-0 run at home. Rays starter Erasmo Ramirez (11-6, 3.65 ERA) has had a fine campaign and the team is 6-2 when he faces an opponent with a winning record. Look for the Rays to run their home winning streak to five as the Blue Jays are 22-51 in the last 73 meetings in Tampa Bay. Take the Rays.
