Estrada's had the best season of his career, but there are signs of trouble under the surface. Estrada's FIP sits at 4.40, and that is a better indicator of future performance than his pretty ERA. He was solid in his lone start vs. Texas, taking a loss but giving up just one run in six innings.
Perez has fewer than 80 innings under his belt in 2015, and his performances since returning from multiple injuries have been a mixed bag. Right-handers have hit .300 against him, so Toronto has a great shot to get their offense on track with so many righty sluggers in the batting order. Toronto had three of the top-10 home run hitters in the AL this year - Josh Donaldson, Jose Bautista, and Edwin Encarnacion - and all are right-handed.
