Kevin Gausman has managed to right a poor season in the second half and feast once the pressure was off and the season lost. Red Sox running a kid out there to get them through the season; this is a lineup the Jays ace can handle (2.32 ERA in his last 7 starts), Rafael Devers shut down for the season, Jaren Duran beat up, and Vladdie Guerrero continues to rake. Give me the Jays here

One last ride with Kevin Gausman for this year, so why not take a shot against the Red Sox, who have struck out at a top five rate in MLB for a couple of months now. Gausman has not had a great season, but he's still managed to rack up five or more strikeouts in 19/30 starts and was on his was to a no-hitter last time before he was pulled for back tightness. He had six strikeouts in short work in that start, and the Jays giving him another start instead of packing it in for the year inspires confidence in his health. The postgame interviews were positive too, with Gausman stating it was precautionary and he felt fine after. Let's do it!
