"Just a few weeks ago, the Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers, and Houston Astros all would have been strong bets to win their respective divisions. But now, with only two games left in the regular season, the landscape across the American League has dramatically shifted. The Mariners have clinched the AL Wes t, the Astros might not even make the playoffs, and the Guardians, once outside the postseason picture, are looking more and more likely to win the AL Central."
"As it stands, the Blue Jays and Yankees are tied atop the AL East with identical 91-68 records (going into Friday night). If the season ended today, Toronto would take both the division and the top seed in the AL, thanks to them holding the tie-breaker over New York. The Blue Jays will face a test this weekend, facing the Rays who have had great success against them this season and lead the head-to-head matchup 7-3."
The American League playoff picture has shifted dramatically with only two games remaining. The Seattle Mariners clinched the AL West, while the Houston Astros face the real possibility of missing the postseason. The Guardians have surged from outside contention into a likely AL Central title. The Blue Jays and Yankees sit tied atop the AL East, and Toronto holds the tiebreaker. The Blue Jays must confront the Rays late in the schedule while the Yankees finish against the Orioles. Toronto's offense has struggled and Bo Bichette’s availability remains uncertain, increasing the urgency to secure the division and a potential first-round bye.
