It will not be a walk in the park against Young, despite the average stuff. He changes speeds, much like Estrada, and the Jays will need to have a very patient approach to him today to have any success.

According to Fangraphs, here are the Jays starting hitters that game:
M Cabrera
J Bautista
J Francisco
M Kawasaki
J Reyes
D Valencia
C Rasmus
A Lind
D Navarro
So, one active Blue Jay in Bautista. Missing are flyball/HR hitters like EE, Donaldson, Tulo, and Martin. And, like you said, they were playing cavernous Safeco and not the Rogers Centre. I wouldn't be nearly so confident against Young if the Jays were playing in KC.
