Game 2. Can Ramon Ortiz continue to pitch like the ace of the staff? When will the bubble burst? The Jays trot out the usual lineup as of late. No Izturis, Bonifacio is at second base.
There has been a lot of talk about the Dickey effect, meaning the pitcher who pitches the day after Dickey has a benefit. I could possibly see a benefit if the following pitcher was Brandon Morrow or Josh Johnson, both of whom are very different pitchers to Dickey. I am not confident that Ortiz will have a Dickey effect.
Alex Cobb has an ERA of 2.89 and a WHIP of 1.17. The Jays will have to be ready.
Finally what will Longoria do against Ortiz? I am not optimistic but baseball is a funny game.
