We’re counting down the hours until Toronto Blue Jays playoff baseball. At 3:37 ET this afternoon, former World Series manager Cito Gaston will throw out the ceremonial first pitch, the A.L. East banner will be raised to the rafters and the Blue Jays will begin their ALDS clash with the Texas Rangers.
It’s David Price versus Yovani Gallardo in the series opener, with Marcus Stroman scheduled to face off against Cole Hamels on Friday afternoon. These quality pitching matchups could limit the offensive output of the Toronto games, but outside of the Yankees and Jays, no other team outscored the Rangers in 2015.
