The Toronto Blue Jays will send Francisco Liriano (8-13, 4.88 ERA) to the mound tonight to face Chris Tillman (16-6, 3.84) with pivotal Wild Card seeding on the line. A Blue Jays win would put them three games clear of the Orioles for the first Wild Card spot and home field advantage in the one-game playoff.
