"Tonight's game against the Kansas City Royals will mark the first opportunity for the Toronto Blue Jays to clinch their first playoff spot in two years, and fourth time in six years. Although the magic number remains at three, the Blue Jays can clinch their spot with a win plus two of three scenarios: a Boston Red Sox loss to the Tampa Bay Rays, a Detroit Tigers loss to the Atlanta Braves, and a Cleveland Guardians loss to the Minnesota Twins."
"While the Blue Jays don't entirely hold their fate to officially make them a playoff team (a loss tonight means Toronto waits another day), it certainly hasn't been ideal for the bats to go quiet in their recent back-to-back losses against the Rays. The Blue Jays are looking for that bounce-back win with Max Scherzer on the mound to get back on the right track once again."
Tonight's game against the Kansas City Royals gives the Toronto Blue Jays the first opportunity to clinch a playoff spot in two years and fourth time in six seasons. The magic number remains three; a win plus two of three outcomes (a Red Sox loss to the Rays, a Tigers loss to the Braves, and a Guardians loss to the Twins) will secure the berth. The game was initially exclusive to Apple TV but will be simulcast by Sportsnet; the following Friday's game against the Rays remains Apple-exclusive. The Blue Jays' chance is slim but possible, with Max Scherzer starting as the club seeks a bounce-back win. The Guardians have won seven straight and remain active in the wild-card race, while the Tigers have struggled recently and face late-season pressure despite strong division odds.
