Nobody expected this. Even the most optimistic of Toronto Blue Jays fans didn't expect the Blue Jays to have already clinched a spot in the American League Championship Series. Not this Blue Jays club, that was given less than 45% odds to even make it to the playoffs. Not this Blue Jays club that was about to lose it's two biggest stars to free agency and was laden with a roster that had "overpaid veterans" and "unproven youngsters."
Turns out - this Blue Jays team was built to overcome those playoff odds. Those overpaid veterans carried their weight.
