TOR has by far the worst numbers against LHP in the whole league (even hitting <.200) and was completely shut down by Price @TAM in late April (9IP, 0R, 4H, 1BB, 9K).
I know that Price wasn't at his best in his last two games, but still delivered a QS against CHW his last time out.
But I'm a bit worried because he allowed 2HRs in each of those two games and TOR scores its runs by the longball. Also he dominated them in his 3 starts against them at the Trop, but was hammered in his 1 start @TOR...but then again TOR was in the top3rd of the league in hitting against LHP last year and not at the bottom end.
Marcum also dominates Tampa: 3 starts, spanning 21.2IP, 4R allowed, 8H, 7BB and 23Ks. He also is hot as of right now, having allowed just 3R total over his last 4 home starts (26.1IP) and never having allowed more than 1R over that stretch.
So a hot pitcher (Marcum) against one of his favorite opponents (1.66 ERA) and opposite to that the worst hitting team against LHP facing one of the best young lefthanders in the game....
Any opinions?
