The Toronto Blue Jays are set to take on the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Cumberland, Georgia on Wednesday, August 5, 2020, 7:10 P.M, ET. An interleague clash is set to take place, where the visiting Toronto Raptors will try to take game 2 after getting a pounding from the Braves in game 1. Atlanta had a strong game on Tuesday getting the 1st game scoring 10-1. The Toronto Blue Jays are sitting on the 10th spot in the American League with a 3-5 record, and are in the 4th spot of the AL East Division.

Toronto is demonstrating at a subpar level so far this season, losing 5 of their 8 games played so far. The Blue Jays are now on a 3 game losing streak and are hoping to snap this in game 2. With their terrible performance, and being the road team in this series they need to dig in deep to make it past Atlanta. Toronto’s problem right now is their offense, evident with their 1 run loss in game 1. They only had 5 hits, and allowed Atlanta to get 13 that night. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was the only Blue Jay to put effort, going 2 for 3 with a run. Toronto has not played a game where they got 5 runs this season. Hyun Jin Ryu will get the mound for the Blue Jays in game 2. Ryu was 14-5 with a 2.32 earned run average, making 163 strikeouts in 182.2 innings last season. He is now 0-1 with an ERA of 8.00, and 9 strikeouts in 9 innings this season.

It was the Atlanta show on Tuesday where they did not give Toronto breathing space the whole game. The best team in the NL East gave Toronto a pummeling to show why they are one of the best teams in the National League. Dansby Swanson led the Braves with 2 hits, 2 runs batted in and a run. Ronald Acuña chipped in a 2 for 3 with 2 runs, while starting pitcher Max Fried allowed 4 hits and 1 earned in 6 innings. The Braves are now 3rd in the National League with a record of 8-4, and are on the top spot of the NL East Division. Sean Newcomb will start for the Braves in game 2. Newcomb has a 6-3 with a 3.16 ERA and 65 strikeouts in 68.1 innings last season.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Atlanta Braves. MLB’s pick for game 2 will go to the Braves. Both starting pitchers are not having a great season as of now, but the Braves can provide better backup for Newcomb. They scored 10 the last game that made the Blue Jays use extra players in their bullpen. Toronto’s lack of good pitchers are a cause for concern in their overall lineup. Atlanta is 5-1 in their last home games, and are 14-6 in their last 20 games at home against Toronto. The Blue Jays will need to put in more effort to avoid the series sweep.
