Marcus Stroman takes the mound for the Blue Jays , who are looking to keep the good vibes rolling in the second of a four-game series against the New York Yankees in the final sprint of the season. Standings update: With Friday’s 9-0 win , the Jays maintained their one-game lead over the Detroit Tigers atop the wild-card standings. Baltimore is half-game back of Detroit for the second wild-card, while Seattle and Houston are 2 and 2.5 games back, respectively. Bautista’s .391 on-base percentage in September is tops among the Blue Jays and tied for 13th in the American League. The speedy outfielder is hitting just .167 this month, but he has faced Sabathia more times than any other Blue Jays hitter and he has fared well against the veteran lefty in his career.
