The Blue Jays continue their long road trip, heading down to Atlanta for a three game stopover to play the Braves. The first game of the series is set to get underway at 7:20 ET.
Blue Jays’ Starter
Robbie Ray, somehow magically riding a 3 game walkless streak, will make his 6th start of the season in this one. On the year, he is 1-1 with a 3.14 ERA over 28.2 innings. While his strikeout numbers are down from his typical dominance so far (29, pretty much 9 per 9 innings, while his career rate is over 11), his walk rate has now reached uncharted territory for him. He has walked just 2.83 per 9 innings, a rate that is nearly 1.5 per 9 lower than his career, and also over half a walk per 9 innings better than the league. Unfortunately for Ray, the home run rate isn’t good, so that is helping push his numbers a bit higher than they otherwise would be, as he has allowed 6 home runs already.
