LHP
5-0, 1.35 ERA, 38 SO
Fried hasn't allowed more than a run in any of his past five starts, and opponents have hit just .188 against him this year.

RHP
0-0, 0.00 ERA, 9 SO
Merryweather is the "opener" for Wednesday's bullpen game, and right-hander Shun Yamaguchi will likely eat some bulk innings behind him. Merryweather gets the nod to give the Blue Jays some heavy velocity right off the top, said manager Charlie Montoyo.

Hernandez makes his fifth start. He's fanned 25 in 19 2/3 innings this season. A blister issue has been a factor in Hernandez not going past five innings in any start. Opponents are hitting .087 vs. his slider.

Walker gave up three solo HRs over the first three innings in his last start, but then held the Dodgers hitless over the next four frames to win his second game of the season. The 28-year-old has pitched well after returning from a two-year Tommy John recovery.
RHP

Lamet struck out 12 Mariners while allowing two hits in arguably the best start of his career last August. And he might be a better pitcher in 2020. Lamet's fastball touches 100 mph with better command than last year. His slider remains filthy.

Clearly healthy again, Kershaw has refined his game. And when he's landing all three pitches with conviction, as he did striking out 11 Mariners on Thursday, he's polishing a Hall of Fame resume. Adding velocity as a 30-something hasn't hurt.

Gausman yielded four runs over 5 1/3 innings in his last start against the Angels on Thursday. He made his most recent start against the Dodgers on Aug. 9, firing 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball.
