Toronto's first inning struggles are no secret. The Jays are 83.78% NRFI on the road this season and are 9-1 NRFI in their last 10 games. Toronto's challenge isn't going to be made any easier against Guardians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco . Carrasco has a first inning OPP BA of .200, and a first inning WHIP of 1.00. Which is bad news for the Jays who, when on the road over the last 30 days, are batting .182 in the first inning.
