The Toronto Blue Jays' bats really came alive in Friday's 8-5 victory over the Texas Rangers. I like Texas to keep it much closer and maybe even pull off an outright upset here on Saturday. Toronto right-hander Marcus Stroman (0-0, 7.20 ERA) was limited to only two starts in spring training because of a sore shoulder and he conceded four runs in five innings in his season debut. Stroman has posted a 5.73 ERA in two career starts against the Rangers who turn to Mike Minor (0-1, 3.86 ERA). The left-hander is 2-0 in with a 1.69 ERA in four career appearances (two starts) against Toronto.

8* play on Texas Rangers +1.5.
