Toronto Blue Jays

Toronto has won only two of their last seven games but was leading the AL East on Sunday morning. Eric Lauer, with a 6-2 record and 2.68 ERA, is expected to start for the Blue Jays against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Monday night. Lauer has been performing well with five straight outings allowing two runs or fewer, but he has struggled historically against the Rockies, with a 1-6 record and 7.58 ERA in 12 career starts. The current Rockies lineup has had success against Lauer in the past.

Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies hosted the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-game series over the weekend, looking to sweep the series after overcoming deficits in the first two games. The Rockies have been performing well offensively since the All-Star break, but their pitching staff has been struggling. Tanner Gordon is scheduled to start the upcoming game, coming off a rough outing in his last start. Gordon has a history of struggling in interleague games.

Pitching Matchup: Eric Lauer Looks to Stifle Rockies as Blue Jays Aim to Take Advantage of Unreliable Bullpen

The Colorado Rockies have demonstrated superior performance against right-handed pitchers, boasting a .780 OPS and 101 wRC+ since the All-Star break. In contrast, the Toronto Blue Jays have shown proficiency against both righties (139 wRC+) and lefties (121 wRC+) in recent games. Eric Lauer is anticipated to maintain his impressive form and stifle the Rockies' offense. Tanner Gordon faces a challenging task in containing the Blue Jays' potent lineup, especially considering the Rockies' unreliable bullpen. Over the past 10 days, Colorado's relief pitchers have struggled greatly, with an 8.25 ERA, 2.00 WHIP, and a .311 batting average against. This weakness may prove to be a deciding factor in the upcoming matchup.
