Reminds me of Kevin Pillar.

Our Ace tanking and Varsho not living up to the trade really hurt this year. If not for that, I think we could been in World Series.

Gausman's been good outside of some recent hiccups.


(yes, this is my mildly passive-aggressive way of noting that Gausman is the "real" ace of the Jays' staff because he's better than Manoah. Yes, even last year. He got hosed on Cy Young votes.)
 
Well it looked like a more convincing win than it actually was, it really looked like they were trying to win 1-0. Got lucky in the 8th with the bases loaded walks, and then some more insurance in the 9th.

But they all count, and they kept pace with the other teams in the race.
 
I have to give the Jays a lot of credit in this series. They showed up and are really kicking the shit out of the Yankees. I know that their offense has been really erratic to say the least this year. But so far down the stretch here they've shown up.

So if they Jays win five more games, they very likely make the playoffs?
They may not even need that many considering how many times Seattle and Texas play each other.

Magic number is now 6.

(technically 13 but someone has to lose the 7 Seattle-Texas games)
Is it 6 even with those 7 Seattle Texas games?? Dam. I thought that number would have been much lower

Yup - here's the math!

Texas and Seattle are both at 84-68 with 10 games remaining, 7 of which are against each other.

If they split the games 4-3, the team winning 3 games could still win their remaining 3 games to finish with 90 wins. If so, the Jays who are currently 85-67 would have to go 6-4 in their last 10 games to get to 91 wins, since they don't have the tiebreak with either team.

Realistically, though, 5-5 almost certainly gets it done.

In the worst case scenario (for the Jays) the loser of the 7 game TEX/SEA series will have 3 wins. It (the loser) can also win the 3 other games left on their schedule giving the team 6 more wins before the season ends.

Since they Jays are currently a game ahead of both TEX and SEA they only need to match that 6 win total to finish ahead in the standings.

Yeah, that makes sense.
