After concluding a 10-game road trip on Sunday with a 4-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers, the Toronto Blue Jays head back home to the Rogers Centre to take on one of the hottest teams in the MLB. The Cleveland Indians have clawed their way back into the AL Central race following a stretch that saw them win 13 of 16 games surrounding the All-Star break. Toronto is coming off of their first series victory in nearly a month, so both clubs will have some momentum on their side for Tuesday’s matchup.

Toronto will send struggling righthander Aaron Sanchez to the mound for the second game of the series. Sanchez has struggled with command all season after suffering from finger injuries over parts of the previous two seasons. He’ll almost certainly set a new career high in walks allowed, and his current 6.26 ERA would represent a new high-water mark on his career. But after allowing just one walk in his previous outing, perhaps Sanchez is finally regaining his old form.
Cleveland will counter with Trevor Bauer, who leads the Tribe with 9 wins on the season and a 3.67 ERA. The righty will be gunning for his fourth win of July in Tuesday’s contest versus the Jays. First pitch is set to fly at 7:07 PM ET, so don’t miss the action.
MLB Odds: Toronto Hosts Cleveland on Tuesday
The Jays face a tough task this week as the Cleveland Indians make their way to Toronto for a three-game series. Tuesday will be particularly challenging, given they’ll be up against Cleveland’s top pitcher Trevor Bauer. With Corey Kluber sidelined with a broken arm, Bauer was taken over as Cleveland’s ace and has proven that he can lead a rotation.
The Blue Jays are hoping that recent production from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. over the weekend is a sign of things to come. The rookie had five hits, including a homerun and five RBIs against the Tigers. Guerrero will look to build upon that and lead the Jays to a win over the surging Indians. Game time is set for 7:07 PM ET.
