Baseball: Blue Jays Push for Shot at Playoffs

Tonight will be the debut of the Toronto Blue Jays' newest superstar Pitcher, whom they acquired last week from the Detroit Tigers. David Price was the winner of the Cy Young in 2012 and is one of the best starting pitchers in the entire Major League. This trade, (for 3 former Jays) makes a major statement to the rest of the American League, which states that the Blue Jays, currently 53-52 think that they have a serious chance at making the playoffs and making it to the late stages.

The Twins come into tonight's game in Toronto as the better team at 54-49, but will have a difficult night in front of the proud Canadian fans therein. The Twins are just behind the Kansas City Royals for first place in the AL Central and are having a very good year over .500 coming up on the All Star Game break. The Twins recently beat the Mariners two games out of their three game series last week and need to continue their winning ways.

Prediction

The simple fact that David Price is on the mound for the Jays tonight means that they are at an advantage. Add that to their home field advantage and you have the recipe for a win. Expect the Jays to win tonight 6-2.
