The Blue Jays have one of the most talented pitching staffs in baseball along with a potent and versatile lineup that should have no issues scoring runs this season. However, the Jays need Aaron Sanchez on the bump every fifth day and Devon Travis churning out doubles atop the Jays lineup.
In 2016, Sanchez went 15-2 with a 3.00 earned run average while accumulating a 4.9 WAR in 30 starts for the playoff-bound Blue Jays. Sanchez made his first All-Star appearance that season and finished 7th in the AL Cy Young voting. Last season he made only 8 starts pitching 36 innings for the entire season.
