Toronto Blue Jays (74-56, conquering Kings of the universe) vs. Cleveland Indians (63-66, mediocre again)

Probable Starters:

Monday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: David Price, 13-4, 2.42 ERA; CLE: Danny Salazar, 11-7, 3.30 ERA
Tuesday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Marco Estrada, 11-8, 3.19 ERA; CLE: Cody Anderson, 2-3, 4.30 ERA
Wednesday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: R.A. Dickey, 9-10, 4.25 ERA; CLE: Trevor Bauer, 10-10, 4.31 ERA

Another series sweep for the Jays over the weekend, and another one where it never really seemed in doubt. Gotta be frustrating to be a Yankees fan right now, watch your team completely destroy the (inept) Braves and not gain a single game on the Jays in the chase for the division lead. Oh well! Them's the breaks.

With 32 games left, if the Jays go .500 the rest of the way, they will amass a total of 90 wins which is pretty darn OK. FanGraphs has their expected final record as 92-70, with a 71.3% chance of winning the division, and a 99.5% chance of making the playoffs. Not bad!

The Jays are supposedly set to announce the hiring of Cleveland's Mark Shapiro, who will serve as the incoming President with Paul Beeston retires. I mention this as (apparently) his plan is to keep AA on as GM of the team. This is also one of the last sets of games where any number of seats are left to purchase (thanks jayswin!). Even with tickets still available, it's crazy to think that they are still expecting fairly large crowds for a Monday-Wednesday series against a team that is not a rival and frankly isn't very good. How things have changed!
