Default Sept. 25-27: Blue Jays vs. Rays Series Thread

Toronto Blue Jays (87-65, conquering Kings of the universe) vs. Tampa Bay Rays (75-78, their fan is really upset about how this season went)

Probable Starters:

Friday @5:00 Mountain Time: TOR: R.A. Dickey, 10-11, 4.05 ERA; TB: Jake Odorizzi, 8-8, 3.38 ERA
Saturday @11:00 Mountain Time: TOR: David Price, 17-5, 2.34 ERA; TB: Chris Archer, 12-12, 2.92 ERA
Sunday @11:00 Mountain Time: TOR: Mark Buehrle, 14-7, 3.69 ERA; TB: Matt Andriese, 3-5, 4.37 ERA

So, with the Indians defeating the Twins last night, the Jays' magic number for clinching a playoff spot is 2 games. They could clinch their first playoff berth since 1993 by the end of the night! I know that simply clinching into a Wild Card game isn't what any of us wants, but I think that's still a pretty big deal. The magic number to clinch the AL East remains at 8 after the Yankees beat the White Sox last night.

The pitching matchup on Saturday is going to be incredible - and should produce a great game. Would really like to see Donaldson figure things out and get the offense really humming along again too.

Gotta love meaningful September baseball!
