Toronto Blue Jays (85-64, conquering Kings of the universe) vs. New Boo York Yankees (82-66, could be 5.5 GB by Wednesday)

Probable Starters:

Monday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: David Price, 16-5, 2.42 ERA; NYY: Adam Warren, 6-6, 3.33 ERA
Tuesday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Marco Estrada, 13-8, 3.14 ERA; NYY: Luis Severino, 4-3, 3.12 ERA
Wednesday @5:00 Mountain Time: NYY: Marcus Stroman, 2-0, 3.00 ERA; NYY: Ivan Nova, 6-8, 5.11 ERA

Could I just copy what I wrote the last time the Jays were about to start a big series against the Yankees? I could ... with the exception that the Yankees unfortunately won their series against the Mets. Oh well! Moving on.

The series against Boston was disappointing for sure, but I'm trying to take heart in the fact that it took two anomalous outings for the Jays to make it happen: a complete, total blowup from the bullpen and a defensive game that couldn't have been much uglier. That shouldn't be a sign of things to come or anything, because both of those aspects of the Jays' game are far better than they were this weekend.

And look! The Jays are starting the cream of the crop when it comes to the rotation over this series beginning with possible Cy Young winner David Price! That'll work. Hopefully the Jays can make the rest of the regular season more-or-less academic by winning the series.
