Game 66: Ryan vs Wholestaff
The Blue Jays continue their series against the Twins this afternoon, looking to bounce back after losing the series opener last night. Today’s game is set to get underway at 3:07 ET.Trevor Richards has been tabbed as today’s opener, and he’s likely to go an inning or two. Richards has had a solid start to his season, putting up a 3.67 ERA over 27 innings. He has done a fantastic job striking batters out, with 42. That gives him a 14.
Following Richards will likely be a combination of Bowden Francis and Mitch White. Both Francis and White will be making their season debuts, but for Francis it will be just his second big league outing. He faced 3 batters in a game against Boston last April, where he allowed a hit and picked up a strikeout.
For White, he’ll be trying to make a good second impression on Jays fans, after a rough first go around last season after a trade we will discuss no further. White threw 43 innings for the Jays last year, and he was bad. He went 0-5 in 10 games with an ERA of 7.74. He got knocked around with some very hittable pitches, but did at least somehow manage a 3.76 FIP. He doesn’t strike many out, nor does he do a good job limiting walks.
Ryan’s best pitch is easily his low-90s fastball, which he throws nearly 60% of the time. By Baseball Savant’s run value metric, it is the third most valuable pitch in all of baseball, tied with Framber Valdez’ sinker that we just got to see on Thursday.There’s a bit of a shakeup today, with MVP Brandon Belt bumped up into the 3 spot to split up the righties a bit more.
