Blue Jays vs. Rays: Key Matchup Insights and Player Updates

Blue Jays will take on the Tampa Bay Rays. Boy, that Soriano trade for Toronto actually looks pretty good at this point. Boy, tough matchups, though, pitching-wise. Shane McClanahan is back off the I.L. He'll start Wednesday. And Max Scherzer's, I don't know, what is he doing, Tom, at this point? Just piling on numbers, I think that's about it for his career. Bieber on Thursday. Soriano, Scherzer, and Bieber, not bad on paper, but man, formidable going up against Tampa Bay this week in Tampa. It is, and this is, I just view this as a spot I'm going to take continuing to back the Rays. And you lose the series versus the Orioles, and I just said the Orioles won it. I don't believe in the Blue Jays. Their lineup's going to be a little bit weaker because we know that Vlad Guerrero's on the seven-day concussion I.L. So I'll just continue to back the Rays. They've been a machine at home. A couple losses against the Orioles don't bother me. Give me the Rays in every game of the series.
