Cleveland will call-up pitcher Jeanmar Gomez to make his second career start as the Indians wrap-up their series in Toronto with the Blue Jays. His first outing was outstanding as he went seven strong innings giving up two runs (zero earned) and five hits against Detroit. Gomez struck out four and walked one in the 7-2 victory. He’ll face a Toronto team that struggled to get things going on Saturday. As a team, the Blue Jays have gone Under in 23 of their 40 daytime games where they hit around .245 as a unit. Gomez has impressed his manager who said “[Pitching coach Tim Belcher] said, ‘That young man is not intimidated at all, he was in sync and remained calm.”

Toronto’s Jesse Litsch has pitched better than his 1-4 record indicates. The righty has allowed three earned runs or less in each of his last three starts. Toronto starters have gone 9-2 with a 2.59 ERA in 15 starts since the All-Star break. They have allowed two earned runs or less in each of the team’s last eight games. Litsch made a start in Cleveland back in June giving up two runs and four hits in six innings pitched to the Indians; a 3-1 win for Cleveland. Travis Hafner (0-3), Trevor Crowe (0-3), and Matt LaPorta (0-1) all look for their first hits against Litsch. The Indians have scored only 25 runs in their last 11 games. They are hitting just over .225 as a team in their last eight games with five of those games going Under the total. We expect a low-scoring game so we’ll recommend a play on the Under between the Indians and Blue Jays this afternoon.
