Yes, but along with Ryu, we will be starting 2 righties. And we only have 3 lefties on the entire staff.
Assume Ryu pitches 6 innings, Ray pitches 4 innings, and Borucki pitches 2 innings, that means there will be 15+ innings pitched by righties.
And Ryu is good against everyone, which means the Jays are way better against a team that has more right-handed bats.
In other words, you can make a case either way. But in a 3 game series, there is no time for stats anyway, it all comes down to execution.
