Tampa roll into town for a four game series carrying a five game losing streak. Can the Jays continue that losing streak? Monday sees a heavyweight matchup on the mound. Nick Martinez and his 2.65 ERA vs Dylan Cease and his 2.56 ERA.
SCHEDULE
Monday: Martinez vs Cease
Tuesday: Rasmussen vs Gausman
Wednesday: Jax vs TBD (Opener/Miles)
Thursday (3pm): Seymour vs Bieber
Coming out of the all-star break the Jays had to have a winning record in their 16 games before the trade deadline. They have started 1-2. If they lose the series to Tampa, say 1-3, they would be at 2-5 and need to go 7-2 in the other three series to have a winning record. Even a 2-2 record would mean the Jays would need to win three straight series, that has been tough to do this season. Basically its show time, getting close to the last chance.
