Game 16 Preview: McClanahan vs Manoah
The Blue Jays go for the sweep this afternoon of the once-red-hot Rays. Gametime for this one is set for the weird 1:37 ET slot.Alek Manoah goes for the Jays, making his fourth start of the season. There has been a lot to be concerned about his season thus far, as he is 1-0 with a 4.91 ERA. The concern really shows up in his 6.98 FIP. Through 14.2 innings, Manoah has 11 strikeouts and 11 walks, two values that a pitcher never wants to see that close together.
Manoah’s struggles this season are also showing up in his workload. In his 31 starts last year, he had just two that he didn’t get at least 1 out in the 6th inning. This year, twice already he fell short of completing 5 innings. His wildness with his command has been very rough this year, and he is going to need to overcome that.The Rays will go with their Ace Shane McClanahan, who will also be working in his fourth game of the season.
After getting shut down the first two times the Jays faced McClanahan last year, the bats did get to him in their final matchup on September 25. In that one, McClanahan gave up 4 runs on 6 hits, 2 walks and just 3 strikeouts over 5 innings. And the big number in that one was 3 home runs, with one hit by Alejandro Kirk and George Springer launching out two.
