The Toronto Blue Jays welcome their old rivals, the Texas Rangers to the Rogers Centre on Monday to open a four-game series that could decide the playoff fate of either club.
The Jays enter the series in the second Wild Card Spot, while the Rangers are on the outside looking in. They trail the Seattle Mariners by half a game for the final Wild Card spot and sit 1.5 games behind the Blue Jays.
“We’ve got great energy right now,” outfielder Kevin Kiermaier said. “We’re clicking at the right time and we just want to keep this thing going.” “Each game is its individual game. We want to focus on that no matter who we’re playing,” former Blue Jays Marcus Semien said. “Standings are the standings. But if we focus on the task at hand and see where we’re at at the end, I think that’s a better plan.
The Blue Jays will have starter Chris Bassitt take the mound for Monday’s contest, followed by Hyun Jin Ryu, Yusei Kikuchi, and ace Kevin Gausman over the rest of the series. The Rangers will counter with Dane Dunning, Max Scherzer, Jordan Montgomery, and Nathan Eovaldi.
