## Resource

On game preview 81 of Flight Deck, Nick Paleolog breaks down the inability to find success at the plate against a struggling Mike Burrows, the costly throwing error by Hoffman to give Houston the lead late and Urias' mistake on the base path. We also preview Kevin Gausman’s start against the Texas Rangers after one of the toughest outings of his Blue Jays career, whether he can give Toronto the bounce-back performance they need and the lineup changes that could help spark the offence. Plus, Nick reacts to John Schneider being named American League All-Star Manager and the latest MLB free agency proposal ahead of the next CBA negotiations. Can Gausman deliver five-plus strong innings and help Toronto get back on track? We finish with Nick's picks presented by bet365.
