Series Schedule/Probable Starters

Monday, 7:05 pm ET - Marco Estrada (0-1, 2.70) vs. Luis Severino (2-1, 3.00)
Tuesday, 7:05 pm ET - Mat Latos (0-0, 3.27) vs. Masahiro Tanaka (3-1, 4.20)
Wednesday, 7:05 pm ET - Marcus Stroman (2-2, 2.97) vs. CC Sabathia (2-1, 4.34)

Four of the pitcher's first names, including all three for the Jays, not only all begin with the first letter 'M' but the first two letters 'Ma'! The Yankees are tied with Baltimore for first place in the AL East at 15-8, eight games ahead of 8-17 Toronto, who actually managed to win two in a row against Tampa at the Dome. The Yankees lost to the O's yesterday at home after having won two against the birds and two against the Red Sox in Fenway.

Burning Question - Can the Blue Jays win two series in a row for the first time this season?

Hot Take - If the Jays are going to wear red uniforms at home on Sundays, why not just have the Toronto script on the front instead of Blue Jays? The entire logo doesn't need to be all red either, otherwise let's call them the Toronto Cardinals.

On Deck - Tampa Bay at the Trop May 5-7.
