Toronto lost their game to Tampa Bay with a score of 7-5 on Saturday. We are waiting for the Blue Jays to participate in the playoffs after the conclusion of the afternoon sessions. It is still unclear which team Toronto will face in the Wild Card round that starts on Tuesday. If the Blue Jays finish fifth, they will play against Tampa Bay in the playoffs. If Toronto finishes sixth, they will have a matchup with the AL Central champion, the Minnesota Twins, awaiting them. The final standings in the Wild Card standings also have an impact.
The Texas Rangers are participating in a crucial game against the Houston Astros in the western region. The Rangers will visit the Seattle Mariners, and the Astros will face off against the Diamondbacks in Arizona. Toronto and Houston are tied for the last two Wild Card spots, and based on the results of the three games, they may end up in eight different scenarios. Five of these scenarios involve Toronto playing against Tampa Bay, while three others pit the Blue Jays against the Minnesota Twins. The Blue Jays faced defeat in the Wild Card round in 2020 and 2022, and Toronto's last playoff win dates back to 2016.
