I don't think they have the 1 game lead any more but I agree they're still in great shape. I understand that baseball is baseball but I feel more confidence in this post-All-Star Blue Jays team than any Blue Jays team that has ever been, including the 92 and 93 championship squads.

So yeah, if the Jays keep pace with or overtake the Royals, they get HFA. If and only if the Royals overtake the Jays, they Royals get it. And that's also assuming the Royals win the ALDS.

They'll have to put a lot of men on base against the stros to teach lessons, big disadvantage imo.

Twins Bullshit decrees that we sweep this series against the Royals to make the playoffs before being devastated by the Yankees, so it'll be Texas.

In my brain Brett Gardner is perpetually the 26 year old proving-himself guy and not the crotchety old baseball rear end in a top hat veteran aka a guy exactly my age.

Expectations of the Royals to not bullshitting their way to the playoffs, Tigers being Tigers, White Sox being an unknown, and the Twins being a tire fire. From some angles, they appeared as the least-worst team in a division of garbage. (Those angles being repetitive coin-flips.)
