adam lind is 2-19 off shilelds the past 3 seasons with no extra base hits. You have to go back to 2010 to find an adam lind extra base hit off shields. Joey Bats is the only one to get to him the last few years.

On the flip side... Hosmer is 2/3 off dickey and a .341 hitter at Tor last 3 years. Infante is a .381 at Tor last 3 years and 16/31 off dickey. Sal perez is a .378 hitter at Tor and 2/6 off dickey.

Shields has pitched to a .36 era at rogers center over the last 25 innings there and a 1.13 era over the last 63 innings anywhere vs them.

Just presenting the other side, Jays are red hot and KC ice cold but this is baseball where the only trend that matters is that 99.9% of trends end sooner or later
