It has been a rough ride for John Lackey since coming back he has a 6.06 ERA. He'll make a day start at 12:37 eastern time and it will be 9:37 on his watch. I think he will definitely struggle here for sure. He is coming off his worst start and I do not expect it to get much better here today.
Toronto is 19-8 at home this year and they are hitting better and scoring more runs during the day this year than they are at night. Brian Tallet has a 1.16 whip and a 3.32 ERA in his last 3 starts and he is 2-1 during the day with a 3.25 ERA as well as posting a solid 2.96 home ERA. In his last 6 starts he has gone at least 6 innings and has not given up more than 3 ER. That is what we call a quality start so 6 in a row.. Let's make it 7!
