In one career start against the Blue Jays, he is 0-1 with a 1.35 ERA, allowing five hits, one earned run with one walk and 12 strikeouts.

Third baseman Austin Riley helps power the Atlanta offense. He enters Wednesday’s game with an eight-game hitting streak. In Tuesday’s loss to the Blue Jays, he was 2-for-4 with a home run. He was 2-for-4 with two homers and five RBI on Monday. In 17 games this season, he is batting .300 with four doubles, five homers and 12 RBI. See which team to back at SportsLine.

Why the Blue Jays can cover
