The long day wanes...
At this point, Tampa still has something to play for - doubtless they'd prefer to play the Wild card game, whether it be against Cleveland (most likely) or Texas, in their own house. Neither of their two best starters, Alex Cobb and David Price (who's been more Price-like since the All-Star Break) are scheduled to face the Jays anyway. Right now, Maddon is planning to go with hellickson, Archer, and Moore. If Sunday's game proves to be meaningless I'd expect to see someone else take Matt Moore's spot.
Tonight it's R.A. Dickey (13-13, 4.27) against Jeremy Hellickson (12-9, 5.16). Hellickson's season went south in August (0-4, 9.60), and he hasn't made a start in ten days. He's made 5 starts against Toronto this year (2-0, 2.90), just as R..A. Dickey has started against Tampa 5 times (2-1, 3.00)
