Another early AL match, and it's the Toronto Blue Jays in Ohio to play the Cleveland Indians.
It looks encouraging for the Blue Jays, who went an MLB-best 24-7 in spring training, and registered a 3.05ERA in that time. Defence, check. Offence, well that has never been a problem.
In addition to Jose Bautista, who has hit 77 homers in the last 2 seasons, the Toronto Blue Jays also have Brett Lawrie, who is batting .524 in spring training and Adam Lind, who has 26 homers from last year and 87RBIs.
Everything looks in place for a strong start, but Cleveland could not be in starker contrast as they start their season.
While Toronto were an MLB-best 24-7 in spring training, Cleveland went an MLB-worst 7-22.
Their ace, Fausto Carmona was arrested for identity theft after being revealed to actually be Roberto Hernandez, and so he can't open the season as he's on the restricted list.
Another man who can't start is Ubaldo Jimenez, who is suspended for 5 games for punching an ex-teammate.
So with the starting rotation a mess, the Indians will send Justin Masterson to the mound. Masterson went 4-5 last year with a 3.25ERA in 18 starts but his spring training performances have been dire.
In 18 innings of work, he has given up 18 runs, and maybe he is not ok still after shoulder surgery?
A confident Toronto Blue Jays will send out southpaw Ricky Romero to get them the win. Last year, Romero went 15-11 with a 2.92ERA, which was the 6th best ERA in the AL.
He's been amazing in spring training too, going 2-0 and working 11 innings where he didn't give up a single run, and struck out 10.
Last year, Romero went 7-8 on the road, and his ERA was a very good 2.91 so I think the Blue Jays are the call here.
Last year Toronto just about edged the 7 game series, 4-3, but with an average of over 7 runs a game, there is potential here to start with a win, if Romero can play to his usual standards and keep Cleveland quiet. Take the Blue Jays!
