After their first playoff appearance in 20 years last season, hopes are high the Toronto Blue Jays can get back into the mix again this year.

Okotoks Dawgs Managing Director John Ircandia says fans won't be disappointed.

"I think they'll be in the playoffs. I like their team and I really like the fact they're going with their young guns. I really think they'll be the team to come out of their division (AL East). But I do think that between Kansas City and those two Texas teams the Blue Jays are going to have a real run for their money."

Ircandia is picking either the Rangers or Astros in the American League, and of course his beloved San Francisco Giants in the National League.

The Blue Jays play their opener Sunday in Tampa Bay.
