With the All-Star Game in the rearview mirror, the Toronto Blue Jays enter the second half of the regular season eight games back of the Boston Red Sox in the AL East and 4.5 games back of a Wild Card spot. The Tampa Bay Rays and the Oakland Athletics currently hold both spots while the Seattle Mariners sit just in front of the Blue Jays.
