Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Marco Estrada is expected to be the team's starter on Opening Day, reports Arash Madani of Sportsnet.
Despite being hung with a 1-2 record, Estrada was excellent in the postseason last year for Toronto, allowing a total of five earned runs over the three starts (22 1/3 innings). Following Estrada in the rotation will be J.A. Happ, Marcus Stroman, Francisco Liriano and Aaron Sanchez.
