Toronto Blue Jays Right Now

The Blue Jays have had a disappointing season, but they’re still in the thick of the postseason race.

With a 66-70 (.485) record, Toronto is just 2 1/2 games back of the final American League Wild Card spot.

There are several teams in the AL Wild Card race. The Texas Rangers and Baltimore Orioles are each just 2 1/2 games back of the final spot. The Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners are four back.

While the Blue Jays will likely miss the postseason, it’s certainly possible. Winning the division is probably out of the question for them, as they are 15 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for first place in the American League East, but claiming the final Wild Card spot is within the realm of possibility.

Game 2 of the three-game set between the Blue Jays and Mariners at the Rogers Centre is slated to begin at 3:07 p.m. EDT on Saturday.
