Blue Jays can qualify in series this evening. We wondered if it was the case since the scenario is relatively complex to calculate, but it is indeed the case.
How?
If the Blue Jays (who will be broadcast on Apple, but also on Sportsnet because of the importance of the moment) prevail against the Royals this evening, it will be a first step.
But in addition, the Blue Jays must hope that at least two of the following clubs lose their match: the Tigers, the Red Sox and the Guardians.
The tigers will receive the brave visit at 6:40 p.m. the Red Sox will go to Tampa Bay to face the Rays around 7:35 p.m. The Guardians will be in Minnesota in order to cross the iron with the Twins from 8:0 p.m.
The Blue Jays will play at 7:40 p.m.
But whether it is today, tomorrow or later, everyone is heard to say that it will only be a formality. The most important thing, it will be to finish among the two best American teams to avoid the best second matches.
With the Yankees who are three games from Blue Jays, nothing is done.
And returned in series, the Blue Jays will have to make sure to win matches. This had not been done in 2020, 2022 and 2023, but the club must absolutely go to the next level, at this point.
To be swept away, once again, it would be a failure.
It should also be remembered that the more the Blue Jays start in series, the better their chances of being able to count on Bo Bichette, whose state of health worries.
To follow, therefore.
