Have updated the records :
= WIN
= LOSS AND I AM VERY MAD
Lets see if we can get some good plays after going 7 - 0 - 1 yesterday.
Playing the following :
1. Toronto -137
The key here is what I have stressed all the time. Toronto is a very very streaky team. When they get into their winning mode they win a lot of games in a bunch.
Loaiza had a good outing last game out. Gave up only 1 ER in 7 innings and 3 runs overall. Won the game against Boston.
Toronto over the last 10 games is hitting LHP at a 0.364 %.
TB is hitting 0.224 against RHP.
TB is 1-9 in last 10 games.
Toronto is 6-1 in their last 7 games.
What this means is that both the teams are heading in opposite directions.
Loaiza has won his last 3 at Skydome and team has gone 5-2 in his 7 starts at Skydome
Kennedy has lost his last 2 on the road and his team is 3 - 8 on the road when he starts. Kennedy has lost 4 games in a row overall.
Loaiza has a ERA of 5.32 overall but this decreases to 4.46 at home.
Kennedy has an overall ERA of 4.23 but his ERA on the road increases to 5.15
Note: TB is 7-2 in last 9 starts by Kennedy but I think its how they are playing now that matters a lot. TB bull pen is worse than that of Toronto and they gave up late runs to Boston which is not a good sign.
The only thing of concern here is that Loaiza has given up a lot of runs to TB in his last 2 starts against them. But I have seen him pitch and he has been pitching better last few games.
I dont know how much this data is valid as I have not done any research on it but here is an interesting stat.
Tampa Bay when playing on Friday is 2-14
Kennedy has a tendecy to give up runs thru long ball and this may be beneficial to Toronto as it will score more runs.
In games played at Toronto .. Toronto is 22 - 10 against TB.
Point of Concern :
Kennedy is 3-0 when starting against Toronto with an ERA of 3.52. Team record 3-2 in last 5 starts against TO.
Loaiza is 2 - 3 against TB with an ERA of 8.50 and a whip of 1.972
Team record is 5-5
But as I said before I put a lot of importance on the psychology of the teams and how they are playing recently as there tend to be streaks.
Dont know how much it may affect TB but the report that the team failed to make payments to 2 of its players may be at the back of all the players and may affect them negatively.
Final Score : Toronto 6 TB 3
Good luck and Cheers !!!
