Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis is batting leadoff in Game 1 of the American League Divisional Series on Thursday versus the Texas Rangers.
Travis was first to the plate for Toronto in Tuesday night's Wild Card Game victory over the Baltimore Orioles, and manager John Gibbons has decided to go with the same approach in Game 1 of the ALDS. Marco Estrada is taking the mound for the Blue Jays.
According to numberFire's metrics, the Blue Jays have an 8.6 percent chance of winning the World Series. The Rangers are the biggest long-shot with 3.6 percent odds.
