The Blue Jays Can Still Catch the Royals for the American League Lead

Two games - that's all that stands between the Toronto Blue Jays and the best record in the American League. That record is currently occupied by the Kansas City Royals, but at their pace ... it might not be for much longer.

Think back to two months ago; the Blue Jays would've been more than happy to simply be within sniffing distance of a Wild Card spot. As the weeks passed and the Blue Jays rocketed into a playoff position, the AL East lead was the next mountain to climb.

But now that the Jays have perched themselves atop the American League East, they should set their sights on climbing the next highest mountain; catching the Kansas City Royals for the best overall record in the American League.
