With Division locked up and not likely to over shoot Astros. What's left to achieve is Judge delivering 61/62.  Gleyber, Rizzo, Stanton, and Falefa have the day off.

a spring training lineup and judge is in the DH spot. two things need to happen tonite - one is for judge to hit at least #61 and hopefully #62 and then get a well deserved rest. second is for cole to deliver a strong outing ahead of the PS. also probably get guys like britton and chapman into the game to see what they have. game is still important for the jays so they'll be playing hard.

Glad to see Judge in the DH slot to get him off the Rogers Center cement playing surface.  Should have been the DH the entire Toronto series with Stanton in RF.  If Stanton breaks down again so be it.  he hasn't contributed that much since July anyway.
