"For the Blue Jays to take back the series lead, they must best Tyler Glasnow, a pitcher they know well. He spent 2018 to 2023 in the AL East with the Tampa Bay Rays, facing the Blue Jays 13 times, with nine of those outings coming as a starter. During those matchups, he went 1-4 with a 5.82 ERA over 51 innings, a 68:27 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and allowed an earned run in all but one game."
"In his last outing against Toronto on August 10, Glasnow threw 5.2 innings, gave up two earned runs, walked four, and struck out eight. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had an RBI double, and Ty France had an RBI single. Among today's likely starters, Guerrero Jr. (6-17, HR, 3 RBIs), Bo Bichette (2-16, 1 RBI), and George Springer (6-13, HR, 2 RBIs) have over 10 at-bats versus Glasnow. Andrés Giménez (2-6, HR) is the only other projected starter with a hit off him."
"The 6'8" Glasnow's height provides him with a stride that allows him to deliver the pitch closer to the plate than most in the majors. This stride distance gives batters less time to decide whether to swing, and creates the illusion that the pitch is faster than it actually is. The Blue Jays' success will come from jumping on the fastball that Glasnow throws 35 percent of the time. His arsenal also includes a slider, a curveba"
Tyler Glasnow faced the Blue Jays 13 times from 2018–2023, nine starts, compiling a 1–4 record with a 5.82 ERA over 51 innings and a 68:27 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He allowed an earned run in all but one meeting. In his most recent start versus Toronto he worked 5.2 innings, conceded two earned runs, issued four walks and recorded eight strikeouts, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Ty France driving in runs. Multiple Blue Jays regulars have accumulated significant at-bats and success against Glasnow. Glasnow's 6'8" frame produces a long stride that shortens hitter reaction time, and he uses a fastball about 35% of the time along with breaking pitches.
