Sam Gaviglio (3.81 ERA) is due up for Toronto, who have to like what they’ve seen from their sophomore northpaw thus far. Gaviglio has the Blue Jays up 1.76 units on a team record of 5-4 since his call-up from AAA-Buffalo in mid-May, and Toronto has taken each of his last four starts, although Gaviglio only reached the fifth inning in one of those games – all of them won by the Jays bullpen.
Atlanta has yet to name a starter for Wednesday’s game, the second of back-to-back interleague matchups for one of this year’s most improved teams. The Braves share top spot in the NL East with the Philadelphia Phillies; they’ll be buyers between now and the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, while the Jays will be sellers, which could have some impact on Wednesday’s game if they make any deals between now and then.
MLB Odds: Jays Stumble Into Atlanta With Trade Deadline Looming
The Toronto Blue Jays (41-48, minus-7.80 units) as we know them are probably done. They’ll be looking to trade players between now and the July 31 non-waiver deadline, which could impact Wednesday’s road game against the Atlanta Braves (50-39, plus-13.75 units). Sportsnet has the call at 7:35 PM ET.
The Braves have yet to pencil in a starter, but it looks like Sam Gaviglio (3.81 ERA) will get the nod for Toronto. The second-year northpaw is likely sticking around after making nine starts for the Jays this year, leading them to a 5-4 record and 1.76 units in earnings.
