Aaron Sanchez (6.38 FIP) has already been penciled in to start for Toronto. Sanchez was one of the best pitchers on the junior circuit last year, but blisters and a split fingernail have limited his effectiveness this season and sent him to the DL on three separate occasions. In his most recent return, Sanchez was rocked by the Astros for five earned runs Friday night in just 1.2 innings of work.
Maybe Sanchez can get his groove back against the Tigers, who had yet to announce a starter at press time for Friday’s contest. The Tigers enter the All-Star break at the bottom of the AL Central standings, and current Detroit hitters have a combined .513 lifetime OPS versus Sanchez at 10-for-52 with zero home runs.
MLB Odds: Sanchez Gets Another Crack in Detroit
Aaron Sanchez (6.38 FIP) and the 41-47 Toronto Blue Jays have had their struggles this year, but they can start the second half of the regular season with a bang when they visit the Detroit Tigers Friday night. Game time is 7:10 PM ET on Sportsnet.The Tigers head into the All-Star break in the American League Central basement, and Sanchez has limited current Detroit batters to a .513 lifetime OPS. However, Sanchez has been bothered by blisters on his throwing hand, limiting him to just six starts thus far; Toronto went 2-4 (–2.44 betting units) in those starts.
