Fresh off a 91-win season that put them in playoff contention until the final days of the season, the Toronto Blue Jays were set to take the American League East by storm in 2022. And yet, despite boasting one of the AL’s best lineups — their 116 OPS+ led the league, while their 4.78 runs/game ranked second only to the Yankees — they once again fell short in the division, finishing seven games behind the Yankees. Although they secured a playoff berth, their season ended there, as they lost their first two games to the Seattle Mariners in the Wild Card round.
