"This season, the Toronto Blue Jays have the distinct opportunity to accomplish something that they haven't done in over a decade. That feat that once seemed insurmountable this year for the Blue Jays is capturing the American League East division title. Currently sitting atop the AL East with both the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox hot on their tails, it looks like it will be a battle right down to the wire."
"With a lifetime 261-211 record against Toronto, Tampa Bay is often a team the Blue Jays fear of playing, especially in the biggest games of the season. And it just so happens that the only time they had met in the postseason, guess who took the series? The Rays swept the Jays two games to none in the AL Wild Card Series during the COVID-shortened 2020 MLB season."
"In fact, Toronto hasn't won a season series against Tampa Bay since way back in 2017 when they went 10-9 to barely outduel their division rival. Just this season alone, the Jays have only one win to show for in their six matchups to date against the Rays, while being outscored 39-17 in the process. As a result, the fact that Toronto still has seven games left on their schedule against Tampa Bay down the stretch"
The Toronto Blue Jays have an opportunity to capture the American League East division title for the first time in over a decade, currently sitting atop the division with the Yankees and Red Sox closely trailing. The Tampa Bay Rays present a major obstacle, holding a lifetime 261-211 advantage over Toronto and having swept Toronto in the 2020 AL Wild Card Series. Toronto has not won a season series against Tampa Bay since 2017 and is 1-5 this year, outscored 39-17. Seven remaining games against the Rays and Tampa Bay’s recent hot streak raise significant concerns for Toronto’s title pursuit.
