In his last five games, Jansen has shown glimpses of his potential, hitting two home runs and driving in five runs. His ability to get on base and score runs has been crucial for the Blue Jays, especially in close games.

Opposing Analysis: Tampa Bay Rays Pitching

The Tampa Bay Rays will be relying on Yariel Rodriguez as their starting pitcher in this game. Rodriguez has a record of 1-3 with an ERA of 3.78 and a WHIP of 1.38. Over his 33.1 innings pitched this season, he has given up 28 hits, struck out 36 batters, and walked 18.

While Rodriguez has shown flashes of brilliance, he has also struggled with consistency. His high walk rate and occasional lapses in control could be areas that the Blue Jays, and particularly Jansen, look to exploit. The Rays' bullpen has also been hit or miss, which could provide additional opportunities for the Blue Jays' hitters.
