Toronto Blue Jays
The Jays have a rubber match with Texas on Sunday before hitting the road for three with the Twinkies. They ought to be happy they’re making this trip in early May and not a month sooner.
Aaron Sanchez, the 25-year-old out of Barstow California, takes the ball for John Gibbons. Sanchez is only one injury-plagued season (and it was only a blister) removed from a seventh-place finish in the Cy Young voting.

That season (2016), he walked 3 batters per nine innings and struck out 7.5. This season, he’s walking over 4 and striking out 6.5, but his home runs are down, his hits per nine are right where they were in his best season and it’s just April.
More importantly, he’s made all five of his starts and has gone at least six innings in each of the last four (he went 5.2 in his debut).
Toronto has only scored him 13 runs in those five games, though. That has to change eventually, as will his 1–2 record.
Minnesota Twins
Last season, his last with St. Louis, Lance Lynn saw a frightening uptick in the number of home runs he allowed. After allowing either 0.6 or 0.7 HR/9 for three consecutive seasons, he gave up 1.3 per in 33 starts.
This season, that figure is 1.4. Now, home run numbers across the league spiked last season and they’re on a similar pace so far this season, but we’re talking about Lynn giving up twice as many homers as he was once accustomed to doing.

His walk rate is also ugly, so ugly that you figure it has to be a blip in the radar. It’s never easy changing scenery, though, and it doesn’t make it any easier if you get off to a poor start.
Lynn’s turning 31 this month and has thrown between 175 and 206 innings each of the past five seasons. He’ll get better because he’s too good not to, but whether he regains the form he had in St. Louis is quite uncertain.

Free Toronto Blue Jays vs. Minnesota Twins MLB Prediction: the Blue Jays tee off, win on the road.
Minnesota did beat Cincinnati on Sunday, snapping an eight-game losing streak that included three walk-off losses. It will be nice to get back home but Sanchez is legit and until Lynn makes a visible adjustment, he’s not backable.
