Blue Jays Close to Within 2.5 Games of AL Wild Card After Rangers Fall
Toronto's playoff chances are tightening as the Rangers dropped a game, putting the Blue Jays in a more favorable wild card position.
The Toronto Blue Jays have moved to within 2.5 games of the final AL Wild Card spot. The shift was aided by a Rangers loss rather than solely Blue Jays wins. Beat reporter Keegan Matheson notes the situation is more complex than a simple games-back figure suggests. Overall, it has been a positive week for Toronto's postseason positioning.
