R.A. Dickey got off to a slow start this season, but since the All Star break the knuckleballer is 8-1 with a 2.80 ERA. Dickey is making his first playoff start and did not face Texas this season. Derek Holland is 4-3 with a 4.91 ERA in a shortened season, and he allowed four runs and seven hits in six innings against the Blue Jays. Holland has a whopping 7.62 ERA his last five starts. Troy Tulowitzki has energized the Jays with a three-run home run that was the clinching blow in Sunday's game. Also, Adrian Beltre still is questionable for the Rangers, and Josh Hamilton is hitting .154 in the postseason. Toronto is 45-20 its last 65 games and will not go down easily. Look for the Blue Jays to tie the series with a win in Game 4.
