After a grueling 162 game regular season that went down to the wire, the Toronto Blue Jays earned themselves a division title and got rewarded with a five day layoff before they begin their postseason run. As champions of the AL East and the owners of the American Leagues best record, the Blue Jays have to wait for someone to win the Wild Card series before they know who they will be playing in the American League Division Series.
It's something this team hasn't experienced before. While this iteration of the expanded playoff format is still relatively knew, Toronto has never had a first-round bye.
