The Toronto Blue Jays will play their first postseason game at home since the 2016 ALCS when they host the Seattle Mariners, who ended a 21\u002Dyear playoff…
Remember back in mid-August when people were worried that Alek Manoah’s workload was becoming too much and struggling as a result? Yeah, me neither.Article content
Seattle ranks next to last in batting average and 15th in OPS in the second half of the season, while only the Tampa Bay Rays have a higher strikeout rate when facing right-handers among playoff-bound teams in the AL. Manoah was picked to start Game 1 of the postseason for the Blue Jays not just because he has great stuff and elite numbers. The right-hander is also the ultimate competitor and will set the perfect tone for this ball game and feed off the Rogers Centre crowd, propelling him into another deep outing.Luis Castillo made one start against the Jays earlier this season when he was still a member of the Reds, but not many Jays have too many at-bats against all.
