Despite losing some ground in the standings, the Toronto Blue Jays went 15-12 in August. Normally, playing .556 baseball would be cause for celebration, but not in the AL East when any of the other four teams are seemingly always lurking around the corner, waiting to strike. In 2025, that's the Red Sox and the Yankees who are closing in on erasing the Blue Jays division lead.
However, the Blue Jays still entered the final month of the regular season in first place and and the majority of that success has to go to the lineup, who scored 155 runs over those 27 games, the most they have scored in any month this season.
