@MS how do you feel about Cavan Biggio suddenly being good and a huge reason this team is in a good position to make the playoffs? I find it hilarious.

I had him written off at the deadline after nearly 3 years of replacement-level play.

Then Davis Schneider started taking his playing time and somehow something clicked back to 2019-20 Biggio.

Go .500 the rest of the way and I’m pretty sure they’ll make it. Someone has to lose games in those AL West series. Doesn’t matter if they end in sweeps or splits, games will be lost.

They can't catch for the WC because they would be to far away then hence would be out of it, but they could catch them in the overall standings.

Not necessarily because I believe that Seattle and Texas play each other seven times in the final 12 games of the season. And someone has to lose there. So if there are sweeps in those series and the Yankees take care of business against the Jays they're still a mathematical possibility that the Yankees could get in. Now is it very likely? No. But it's still possible. Even if it's a long shot.

I think all they have to do is go 5-7 or even 4-8 and they'll probably make it. Especially considering that Texas and Seattle play each other 7 times down the stretch and the possibility of sweeps in those series.

It’s looking less likely that either Texas and/or Seattle will hit 90 wins.

Yeah.

Say Texas goes 8-5 in their remaining games to get to 90 wins.

Presumably they'd have gone at least 4-3 against Seattle to get that record.

That means that for Seattle to get to 90 wins (assuming they lose today) they'd have to go 6-0 in their remaining games.

If Texas goes 5-2 against Seattle, it's impossible for Seattle to get to 90 wins.

Same deal the other way if Seattle takes 4 or 5 against Texas.

For both teams to get to 90 wins, they'd have to basically split their games and then run the table otherwise.

If the Jays are in a playoff spot by at least 1 game over Texas or Seattle after the Yankees series, you have to like their chances.

Worst case scenario is one of Texas or Seattle goes 6-4 and 7-3 in the remaining 10 games respectively. Which means the Jays have to got 6-3 in their last 9 to make it.

Best case scenario is Texas or Seattle sweeps the remaining 7 games and the Jays only need to go 4-5 at worst depending how far they are up.

This pitching staff is closing in on being one of the best in Jays history. Not only are they good, but they continue to pitch well in very high stress situations. This inconsistent offence puts so much pressure on them.

Yeah. Dammit if we could only get a bit more offense it would be HUGE to finish up the year.

If you’re going to keep bringing up the Yanks as this sneaky wildcard contending team, we’ll keep on calling it out as ridiculous lol. You’re welcome to your opinion but don’t be mad if it blows up in your face. If the impossible does happen I’d expect you to be blowing your load around here.

In other news, Gilbert getting smacked around by the Dodgers “B” team.

I was frustrated when he wasn’t felt at the deadline. Even a fringe 1 in 20 prospect would have done it for me.
I thought he had no place on the team with Davis and Espinal being better.

But damn I was wrong. He has been huge for us post deadline when we really needed guy to step up and few were

I guess mathematically it could, I just figured Texas and Seattle would go back and forth and stay higher up, but yeah if Texas was to loose them all and Jays decided to do the same, and Yanks did pull the miracle your right. That's definitely a far stretch, but is a possibility, that would be so bad.

I am not calling them a sneaky WC team. I am just saying that you can’t say that they are out of it yet due to the fact that they play the Jays 6 times down the stretch.

Now, it’s like I said earlier. Is it likely that the Yankees run the table against the Jays and go 6-0 in those games? Probably not. But, you never know. The Jays still have to play and win those games. They haven’t earned the benefit of the doubt of anything in my books.

Nobody expected Texas to sweep the Jays 4 straight in that series earlier this week, especially when you see how Texas played in the last month or so when they had that terrible 4-16 stretch over 20 games prior and it’s now even more mind boggling that they swept that series after seeing what Cleveland just did to them this weekend.

Again. Would I bet on the Yankees going 6-0 in those 6 games against the Jays? No. I am just saying it’s not impossible. Especially given the Jays offensive struggles this year.

And FTR. No. I won't be on here saying "I told you so" if in fact the Yankees do sweep them in both series. In fact I would be pissed off. Lol.

It looks like the Jays are going to be 1.5 up on Seattle if the L.A game holds.

But Seattle has Oakland next. And the Jays have the Yankees.

The Yankees might be having a down year, but they have been better recently, have Judge back and their pitching is top 10. Good test for the Jays offense.
 
The Jays and Yankees record in their past 11 games?

6-5

Jays have a 7 game lead over the Yanks with 12 games left.

The Yankees have to pass 2 teams.

Is math that hard, seriously?

Mariners finish their season with two series against Texas and one against the Astros. From their perspective, they would want to sweep the A's.

Ya if the Jays take 2 of 3 from the Yankees they will be in a very good position. In their last series against the Rays, Rays will likely be resting some players.
