Blue Jays Game Day Preview: July 11th 2009

Saturday July 11th 2009

Toronto Blue Jays (44-44), 4th in AL East

@

Baltimore Orioles (38-48), 5th in AL East

Probable Pitching Matchup

Ricky Romero, LHP, (7-3, 2.96ERA)

vs

Rich Hill, LHP, (3-2, 7.43ERA)

Blue Jays Machine Expects:

Another great start from Ricky Romero:

Sure, every great thing has to come to an end, but do not expect Romero to do this against the Orioles tonight in Baltimore. His first start against Baltimore was rough, 0-1, 8.44ERA against Baltimore. Romero was fresh off the disabled list in that start and did not look like the Romero we are currently seeing.

The Jays offense to come alive:

The Jays are taken on a soft tossing left hander in Rich Hill, Hill is taking Brad Bergesen's spot today as Bergesen was pushed back to tomorrow's start. Baltimore ace Jeremy Guthrie has come down with a viral infection and will miss tomorrow's start. Hill posts an ERA OF 7.43 for the season and an ERA of 16.20 against the Blue Jays this season.
