The fuckin’ House of Horrors. Here we go. The Jays are a modest 3-3 in their past six games, including a series win over Tampa, but now they’re rolling into the Trop with a a decimated pitching rotation. Things ain’t lookin’ good, friends.

I don’t like this matchup for the Jays. Archer has been nails against Toronto forever, and Liriano, while obviously a blip for other reasons, was very bad his last time out in Tampa. It honestly isn’t so much Liriano that gives me a bad feeling, because he’s given the team a chance to win in all of his other starts, it’s just the reality of having to face Archer and his stupid slider.
