With a month left in the season, the Toronto Blue Jays lead both the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees in the AL title race. They face the sixth-strongest remaining schedule with series' against the Milwaukee Brewers, Houston Astros, Red Sox, Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, and Kansas City Royals.
The Red Sox and Yankees have the 11th and fourth-easiest remaining schedules. Due to a scheduling quirk, they just completed a three-game series against each other and will play again from September 12 to 14 in New York. The Blue Jays hope for a 2-1 split, as neither team would gain much ground.
