Bowden Francis isn't a big-time strikeout pitcher by any stretch, but my projections say this number should be 5.5. Francis has at least five strikeouts in three of his five starts and the Red Sox offense ranks 24th in strikeout rate.

The Blue Jays are not a good baseball team. It's a 4-man lineup right now and the pen is shaky. That fast start feels long ago. Garrett Crochet on the mound will always get my attention. I'm shocked the Jays haven't fired their skipper yet, but he manages like he wants to go home and his team seems to want him gone. Bad vibes around the Jays. Stop me if you've heard this before.
