Straw added two hits in Game 1, bringing speed and multi-hit potential to the top of Toronto’s order. His baserunning and contact upside give him sneaky fantasy value in this series as the Jays try to extend their run.

Myles Straw, with Toronto on first during a late inning moment, was the baserunning context for Dubin’s pickoff, a sequence that became the broadcast’s focal point and fueled an ongoing cross-border rivalry narrative.

Straw’s RBI double in the sixth provided the go-ahead run, and his multi-hit night contributed to Toronto’s offensive surge.

Straw’s aggressive baserunning set up the winning run in the 10th, moving the lead runner to third and forcing Houston’s misplay.

Myles Straw nearly quit baseball at 29 before a September Guardians stint and a January trade that briefly sent him to Toronto. He earned a major-league role with the Blue Jays, thriving in center and across outfield positions. His season features a .272 average, 4 HR, 30 RBI, 11 SB over 116 games, with a WAR near 3.0, aided by elite defense and baserunning; a true multi-position asset as Toronto contends with a power-heavy lineup around Guerrero Jr., Springer, and Bichette.
