The Toronto Blue Jays currently occupy first place in the American League East and have nine series remaining before the regular season ends on September 28. Most remaining games are at home, which has favored the team. A September 5-7 series against the New York Yankees could effectively decide the division if the Yankees continue their comeback. Earlier struggles included an April sweep at Houston that left Toronto 12-13 and near the wild-card threshold while the Astros moved above .500. Remaining matchups, timing, and the home-heavy slate will shape final standings and playoff seeding.
September baseball is around the corner, and the Toronto Blue Jays continue to remain in their crucial playoff races. The Blue Jays sit first in the American League East, looking for their first division title since 2015, and regaining the top spot in the American League (at the time of this writing). With the Twins now in the rearview mirror, nine series are left before the regular season concludes on September 28.
The Blue Jays took over the division lead when they swept the Yankees in a four game series at the beginning of July at Rogers Centre and they haven't looked back since. But they might need to start at least looking over their shoulders as the Yankees are storming back and by the time this series rolls around, they could once again be neck and neck for the division lead.
