Guardians starter Logan Allen got shellacked by the Red Sox last time out and now faces a Blue Jays lineup that ranks seventh in OPS (.757) against southpaws. In his two starts against teams that rank above average versus lefties, Allen gave up 11 earned runs in 9.2 innings to Boston and San Diego. He walked eight and struck out three in those matchups. Toronto enters with momentum after homering five times in beating Boston the past two nights. Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt is 2-0 with a 0.82 ERA in two home starts, fanning 17 over 11 innings.
