The Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers get their AL Division Series rolling today with an early start at Globe Life Park. The Jays are riding high from their dramatic win on Tuesday over the Orioles and look to Marco Estrada to keep that momentum going. Estrada has been sharp over his last 3 outings, with a record of 1-0, an ERA of 0.95, a WHIP of 0.84 and Toronto is 8-3 in his last 11 road starts. Texas will counter with their ace southpaw, Cole Hamels. Over his last 3, Hamels is 1-0, with an ERA of 4.05 and a WHIP of 1.30. The Jays line-up consists mainly of right-handed hitters and that is why they are killing left-handed flame throwers. Toronto is 9-2 in their last 11 against southies and 4-1 on the road in their last 5 against them. The Jays have had success at Globe Life Park, going 11-4 in the last 15, and 7-3 in the last 10 meetings with Texas overall. The line opened at Texas -140 and now is Texas -120. Money is going Jays’ way. Flip some bats, Joey.
