This years' Toronto Blue Jays is primed to become a playoff team for years' to come. Just as recently as ten days ago we were five games out of a wildcard spot. At this point we're the number one wild card team, however, we're competing against four other teams for one of the two spots. As recently as three weeks ago we were 9.5 games behind the Yankees (and now they're behind us by 1 game in the race for a wild card spot). The Jays carry their own destiny by winning outright as perhaps the best baseball story of the year. A team dominated by offence and starting pitching. The pitching staff has five solid starters in Ray, Ryu, Matz, Berrios, and Manoah. The offence is led by Vlad Guerrero Jr., Marcus Semien, Teoscar Hernandez, Bo Bichette, George Springer, Randal Grichuk, Alejandro Kirk, Corey Dickerson, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. A total barrage will probably occur over the next three weeks in Toronto for the Jays. Should Guerrero Jr. break the 50 Home-Run plateau this year my prediction is for the Jays to win the first wild card spot and carry through hot into the playoffs.
