Toronto Blue Jays (79-60, conquering Kings of the universe) vs. New Boo York Yankees (77-61, I hate them so much)
Probable Starters:
Thursday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: David Price, 14-5, 2.43 ERA; NYY: Luis Severino, 3-2, 2.04 ERA
Friday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Marco Estrada, 12-8, 3.18 ERA; NYY: TBD

Sunday @11:00 Mountain Time: TOR: R.A. Dickey, 10-10, 4.01 ERA; NYY: TBD
The series against Boston definitely did not go as planned, but hey, the Yankees lost 2 against the Orioles so the damage is minimized. Every day that passes where they don't gain ground on the Jays makes it less and less likely that they will be able to catch our team. They've lost a couple of huge players over the past couple of weeks, including Nathan Eovaldi who has to be considered their ace at this point, with elbow inflammation. Mark Teixeira is out as well and it sounds unlikely that he'll return this season.
On the Jays side of things, well, obviously we're all looking forward to seeing what Marcus Stroman can do on Saturday. From where I'm sitting, it's tremendously unlikely that he unseats Marco Estrada in a potential playoff rotation, though you never know. And you have to think Drew Hutchison has made his last start of the season for the Jays. What a terrible season from a guy who many (including myself, in the interest of full disclosure) thought was set for a huge breakout season.
Anyone think we'll see Russ Martin batting further down the lineup sometime soon? I know he's hurt right now, but man, the guy is almost an automatic out at this point.
