The surging Blue Jays are zeroing in on a postseason berth — and the AL East crown — ahead of their matchup with the Royals on “Friday Night Baseball.”
Toronto continues to slice its magic number to win the division as it enters its third-to-last series of the regular season. The Blue Jays are in pursuit of their first AL East title since 2015; they’re also fighting for the No. 1 overall seed in the American League.
Contributions continue to come from up and down the roster, but no one has been more impactful than 35-year-old George Springer. The veteran outfielder is in the midst of a career resurgence, hitting .304 with a .941 OPS entering play on Thursday — two of the best marks in the league.
Meanwhile, the Royals face long odds to qualify for the postseason for a second consecutive year, but they sure aren’t going to roll over. Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. and third baseman Maikel Garcia form one of the best left sides of the infield in baseball. Do they have a miracle run in them down the stretch?
