The Diamondbacks might pass their second-round pick, Andrew Yerzy, as they head over the Canadian border into Ontario for a two-game set against the Blue Jays today.

The first game of the series will match up Patrick Corbin and Marco Estrada. Estrada has been a bright spot in an otherwise relatively disappointing Toronto squad. In fact, with Chris Sale’s recent woes, he’s on the short list to start for the American League in the All-Star Game. However, with their offense starting to heat up a bit, the Diamondbacks face a much more fierce competitor than the Philadelphia team they just swept over four games.
