"Last season, the first major turning point of the season came against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, winning the series finale before sweeping their next series. Funnily enough, the second major turning point came after the Blue Jays were swept by the Rays in late May 2025, as they went on to win 13 of their next 16 games."
"The third and final major turning point happened in late June/early July, sweeping the New York Yankees in a four-game series at Rogers Centre. They had won a game before the four-game series, which started an 11-game winning streak, their first since the two they had in 2015. The other team they swept in that winning streak was the Angels at home."
"Since then, they are 9-1 at home against the Angels, winning two of three at Rogers Centre in 2023, all four they played in 2024, and the three in 2025. In the last three years, the Blue Jays are 17-5 against the Angels."
"Heading into May 8th's game last season, the Jays were slashing .241/.310/.356 with 25 home runs and an 87 wRC+ after 36 games. They had hit the fewest home runs and had the seventh-lowest wRC+. Flash forward a season, and they have 34 home runs, tied for the seventh-fewest, and a 92 wRC+, the seventh-lowest, in their 37 games pla"
The team has shown slow starts in both 2024 and 2025. A first turning point arrived with a series finale win against the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim, followed by a sweep of the next series. A second turning point came after a late-May sweep by the Rays, when the team won 13 of its next 16 games. A third turning point occurred in late June or early July with a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees at Rogers Centre, beginning an 11-game winning streak. The team has dominated the Angels recently, including a strong home record and a 17-5 mark over the last three years. Earlier this season, it won the first two games in Anaheim but lost the finale, ending a series win drought and preceding a later sweep by the Rays.
