The season is still somewhat early, however, Thursday marks the 1/3 point of the calendar for the Blue Jays as they’ll play their 54th game of the 2017 season. They’ll open up a 4 game set against the AL East leading New York Yankees, with an opportunity to close the gap on the 5.5 game lead currently held by the Bronx Bombers.
As recently as 3 weeks ago, the season looked like a lost one for the Blue Jays, as they began the season at a dreadful 1-9 start in their first ten, and looked as though they’d dug a hole that may be too difficult to get out of.
