The Blue Jays enter the nightcap with a two-game lead over the Royals for the top record in the American League, which would secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Toronto owns the tiebreaker between the two teams and would clinch the top spot even if both clubs finish with the same record.
If Toronto finishes with the best record, it would face the winner of the AL Wild Card Game presented by Budweiser that will take place on Tuesday. The Yankees and Angels currently have the two Wild Cards, but the Astros and Twins also remain in the mix with four days remaining in the regular season.
