Toronto Blue Jays (69-55, conquering Kings of the universe) vs. Texas Rangers Lamers (64-59, uh ... I can't think of anything)

Probable Starters:

Tuesday @6:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Mark Buehrle, 13-6, 3.45 ERA; TEX: Derek Holland, 1-1, 3.68 ERA
Wednesday @6:00 Mountain Time: TOR: David Price, 12-4, 2.40 ERA; TEX: Colby Lewis, 14-5, 4.29 ERA
Thursday @Noon Mountain Time: TOR: Marco Estrada, 11-7, 3.27 ERA; TEX: Yovani Gallardo, 10-9, 3.25 ERA

Feels pretty good to be a Jays fan after a complete dismantling of the Angels over the weekend. They are 6 games clear of their closest competition for a playoff spot and are tied with the Yankees for the AL East. Importantly, they are tied in the loss column which wasn't the case the last time they were in this position.

I'm sure you know that the Jays' offensive performance was record-setting for a 3 game series, as they scored 36 runs over the series, topping the previous record of 34. The series where the Jays recorded the most runs is actually the 1993 World Series.

Saw a cool stat the other day that stated the Jays' run differential since The Trades is would actually be 4th in the AL if you allowed all of the other teams to use their run differential for the whole season.

The Rangers have been a really hot team of late, but the Jays are going to enjoy playing in a real hitter-friendly ballpark over the next couple of days. Hopefully they can take advantage!
