No Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for the Blue Jays. They are 2-0 without him in 2025 but won both by each one run so that's just fine here. I went back and forth on this and Under 4.5 runs in F5 (I would have played U5 if offered) but opted for this with Max Scherzer's road splits a bit worse. Toronto has lost B2B games by multiple runs and is a game under .500 away, while Pittsburgh is six over at home. The Bucs' Mitch Keller is usually a solid 6 IP, 3 ER type of guy.

We don't mind taking our chances against the Bucs when Paul Skenes isn't on the mound...like tonight. Partly why we don't expect a repeat of Monday when the Pirates won with Skenes on the hill vs. the Blue Jays in a bit of an ill-tempered matchup. Tonight, it's Mitch Keller for Pittsburgh, and he's hardly been Skenes-like in recent starts, in fact his August efforts have been particularly rough, posting a 7.89 ERA in three starts. This looks like a good bounce-back night for Toronto, still with the AL's best record, and pleased that Max Scherzer has finally started to resemble Max Scherzer in recent starts, with a non-Keller-like 1.89 in three starts this month.
