Toronto Blue Jays fans find their team one game back of the Boston Red Sox and two back of the New York Yankees in the Wild Card standings, clinging to playoff hopes with six games remaining in the regular season. While exciting, this isn’t the dream scenario fans were probably hoping for.
Toronto starts a three-game series hosting the Yankees at the Rogers Centre on Tuesday night. If they sweep the series they’ll be one game ahead of the Yankees. If they go 2-1, they’ll still trail New York by one game going into the final weekend series at home versus Baltimore.
