I do agree, but with the Jays playing the Angels and Twins this week at home, the sox playing the Rays on the road and a hot KC team , they need 3 out of 4. It's just so tough to win on the road in any sport. Can they catch fire from this point on.... will see

 

The season still will come down to can they beat Baltimore and Toronto head to head? If they can't they don't deserve to make the postseason.

Yes and no. The 13 games with those teams are very important, but the other 26 are too. Going 7-6 against Baltimore and Toronto and playing .700 ball (or whatever it takes) in the other games is a perfectly acceptable way to get there.

True, but I'll feel alot better about this team's chances in the postseason if they kick the crap out of a couple of good teams that are in the way of their winning the division.
