The teams with the two best records in the majors clash Friday night when the Milwaukee Brewers visit the Toronto Blue Jays to open a three-game series.
The Brewers have the top record in the big leagues despite losing 6-4 on Thursday to the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. Milwaukee dropped two in a row while splitting the four-game series.
The Blue Jays have the best record in the American League after winning two of three from the Minnesota Twins, including a 9-8 victory on Wednesday in a sloppy rubber match. Adding to the intrigue is that the Brewers have the best road record in the majors (38-28) and the Blue Jays have the best home record (44-22).
"We are pretty similar," Toronto manager John Schneider said on Wednesday. "They have (star) players but are doing it collectively, kind of like us."
Neither team has been brilliant recently. The Blue Jays are 15-14 over the past month. The Brewers are 5-8 since their franchise-record 14-game winning streak ended on Aug. 17.
Milwaukee is slated to start right-hander Freddy Peralta (15-5, 2.68 ERA) in the series opener. He has made one career start against the Blue Jays, a 3-1 loss on June 1, 2023, at Toronto. He allowed three runs and six hits in six innings.
Right-hander Shane Bieber (1-0, 1.50 ERA) is scheduled to make his second start as a Blue Jay after missing more than 16 months following Tommy John surgery. Bieber made a strong debut at Miami on Aug. 22, allowing one run and two hits while striking out nine in six innings against the Marlins. In two career starts against Milwaukee, he is 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA.
