Toronto Blue Jays

The r- White Sox are two games over .500.

Blue Jays are one under.

The Rangers are one under.

Like it's, it's, it's a turtle derby.

The Astros take on KC.

Uh, the White Sox, Detroit.

And, uh, the Blue Jays do-- They probably have the toughest one, because they're taking on the Texas Rangers.

So, um, you know, the Athletics and KC, the two worst records.

Chicago holds the tiebreaker over them, which is very frustrating if you go all the way back to the start of the season.

The White Sox beat the Blue Jays in that one game where there was a bunt that Tyler Heineman threw into right field, and the Jays were winning, and then they got walked off on the next batter.

That could've been the end of the game.

If they win that, they would've had the tiebreaker.

The Tigers, as I taped this, have won six in a row.

They're playing the Blue Jays right now.

When they show up in Chicago, they might have won seven in a row.

We looked at their schedule, the White Sox schedule, the start of this month, and we're like, hey, this is easy.

The Dodgers, one of three major league teams that Andrew Abbott has never faced.

The ironic part about it is the Reds are the other team because he plays for the Reds, and the Toronto Blue Jays are the third team.

Blake Snell on the mound, 4-1 with a 1-1-9 ERA.

33-year-old left-hander in his second season now in the big leagues, making his eighth start.

What is up, Blue Jays Nation? It's Dan Riccio yet again here for a series finale preview on Flight Deck.

Blue Jays trying to salvage this late season series against the Detroit Tigers, who are on a heater as they've been pretty much cooked for the season.

But they're on 79 losses, and they just keep winning ballgames.

So maybe they can win out for the season and make it to the playoffs.

Instead, they are really just crushing the hopes and dreams of every Blue Jays fan, hoping that this team would make a magical run to the postseason.

But losing the first two games of this series, yeah, it's...

I wouldn't say put a nail in the coffin, but it's definitely damaging the confidence level.

The Worryometer is at an all-time high this season for the Blue Jays and their playoff hopes.

each division or league.

Unfortunately for our good friend Dylan Cease, who he's had a great season for the Blue Jays.

His last

couple of weeks ran him out.

It's so bizarre because there's this gaggle of teams that could either win their division or And get a bye or miss the playoffs.

And there's like four teams in that position.

The only one that's in contention that isn't in that position is the Blue Jays because they can't win their division because they play in the American League East.

I think you can now say at this point the Orioles are out of it.

I'm Mirella Fernandez.

It was a virtual must win for the Toronto Blue Jays this afternoon as they look to stay within striking distance of a playoff spot.

An error charged to Peck on that play.

And he's going to get another opportunity here.

Chicago dropped into that position after losing today in Cleveland, which now sit atop the AL Central.

The Jays play in Texas Friday against the Rangers.

Meanwhile, Trey Savage could pitch for the Blue Jays as soon as Sunday in Texas.

The right-hander says he's feeling good after a conditioning start in AAA.

But the way that Major League Baseball's playoffs are set up is that four will play five, and then the winner of that series plays the one seed, right? So you are guaranteed a team from the American League East is going to be playing in the ALCS.

And you could be damn well sure that to win that series, they are going to be more than a minus 190 favorite to win the series against whether it be Houston, Chicago, or Cleveland, or if Toronto or Texas makes their way into the wildcard picture.

But you can bet a team from the American League East to win the AL pennant at minus 190.

It's pretty solid.
