The Blue Jays are currently at the top of their division as the baseball season approaches its climactic finale, presenting the team with the opportunity to secure a playoff spot for the first time in a decade.
However, they still have 34 games to play, necessitating strong performances to maintain their lead until the playoffs start.
At present, the Blue Jays lead the American League East, with the Yankees and Red Sox trailing behind.
If Toronto can maintain this advantage over their rivals, they could win their first division title since 2015, allowing them to enter the playoffs directly instead of via a wildcard slot.
This is an exciting time for Blue Jays fans eager for playoffs, and noted fan Lesley Mak suggests that this team has already surpassed expectations for a potential postseason run.
Ahead of Friday’s games, Toronto’s record stands at 74-54, slightly better than the 2015 club led by José Bautista, which was 72-56 at the same point.
The Blue Jays are currently performing exceptionally well, boasting the highest batting average and on-base percentage in all of Major League Baseball, showcasing depth in their roster with contributions from many players, not just stars.
