When looking at the previous seven pitching outings for these pitchers, there is a major gap as Eduardo Rodriguez is 1-1 with a 7.68 ERA and a 1.74 WHIP in 34.0 innings while Toronto’s Eric Lauer gets the start with a 2.08 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP in 30.1 innings over nine games (three starts). He has been making hitters guess as hitters have a .170 batting average against thus far. Lauer has not faced the Diamondbacks since the 2022 season so this will be a good test for him. These bullpens are on two completely different levels so far this season as the Diamondbacks are 27th with a 5.20 reliever ERA while the Blue Jays are 11th with a 3.65 bullpen ERA. Rodriguez has struggled with keeping hitters in check as he has a .302 batting average against so far. The Toronto Blue Jays are 4-2 in their previous six games against the Arizona Diamondbacks so take the Toronto Blue Jays to win this game.
