Watch Toronto Blue Jays vs New York Yankees Online Live Preview
Halladay, who is coming off his second 16-win season in a row, extends his own franchise record with a sixth straight Opening Day start for the Jays.
Ever since capturing the World Series crown in 1993, Toronto has tried unsuccessfully to supplant both the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox as the cream of the American League East crop. Toronto enters the '08 campaign with the same high hopes it has carried into the past few seasons, but believes this time the result could be different.
Wang draws his first Opening Day start -- the final such assignment at the current Yankee Stadium -- after establishing himself as MLB's winningest pitcher over the past two seasons with 38 wins.
This is no longer Joe Torre's team. While the Yankees brought back largely the same core that won 94 games in 2007, plus one more in the American League Division Series, the biggest change is the presence of Joe Girardi, a former Yankees player, coach and broadcaster who will now try his hand as the manager.
