So far this year, the Toronto Blue Jays have felt more like an idea than an actual baseball team. Here the Orioles are with 108 games in the books and they have played the Blue Jays four times. That’s nuts! Because of this weird schedule quirk, that means the Orioles play the Blue Jays in just about 28% of their remaining games this year. That’s just dumb.
The Blue Jays have occupied one of the wild card spots throughout the season and have been in the first spot for awhile now. They currently have a two-game lead on the Rays and Mariners and a four-game lead on the Orioles.
