This is an 8* play on the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Jays are back to .500 after taking two of three in a home series versus Boston, and they host the Yankees in Gamer 1 at Rogers Center Monday.

Ivan Nova will toe the slab for the visitors, and he's struggled against the Blue Jays. Nova (3-2, 3.65 ERA) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks over 6 2/3 innings in an 8-4 loss to Toronto his last time out. It was the second time this season the Jays have roughed him up, and he's posted a rather swollen 6.55 ERA in his last seven starts versus Toronto.

The Jays hand the ball to Marco Estrada, who is coming off back to back wins. Estrada (2-2, 2.76 ERA) allowed three runs on four hits over seven innings in a win over the Yankees in New York his last time out. He's been better at home than he has been on the road, going 1-1 with a 1.69 ERA in four starts at Rogers Center.

The Jays have won 10 of their last 14 versus New York, and they look good to take Game 1 at home tonight.

Take TOR.
