The conditions may not be perfect, but the last I heard, they were going to play baseball in Baltimore tonight. With the hurricane interrupting their normal routines, let's hope the Jays' hitters can take full advantage of mediocre, expensive southpaw Omar Daal, who has a 10.45 ERA against Toronto this year, and has pitched just two innings since June.
Kelvim Escobar is 9-2, 3.86 with nine saves vs. the Orioles in 28 appearances, 12 of them starts. He wasn't brilliant (six walks in six innings) but allowed them just one run last week at the Dome, and he's fared well in two previous starts at Camden Yards this year. Of course, you never know when Kelvim will be at his best; he could allow something like the unusual travel schedule to distract him.
Carlos Tosca has tweaked his "lefty-proof" lineup, dropping Hinske back down to seventh, with Bordick in the 2-hole. Kevin Cash (122/151/146 in 82 AB) remains a fixture behind the plate; the staff's ERA and W-L record with him receiving compensate for his hitting stats, which can only improve. In case you hadn't noticed, the Jays are 11-1 this month when Cash starts.
