The Blue Jays are rolling into Cleveland with serious momentum. The Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep of Seattle with a 7-0 win on Sunday, their third sweep of the season, and now sit just 1.5 games back of the final Wild Card spot with their playoff odds climbing to 24.5%.
On game 139 preview of Flight Deck, Dan Riccio breaks down Max Scherzer turning back the clock with 7 dominant innings, just one hit allowed and 10 strikeouts, while Alejandro Kirk continued his red-hot stretch with a two-run homer.
Dan will also look at George Springer’s incredible recent run, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s continued struggles at the top of the lineup, and whether this upcoming series against Cleveland is a true must-win for Toronto.
Plus, the Blue Jays make a series of roster moves, recall Ricky Tiedemann and Sean Keys, reinstate Joe Mantiply and Josh Smith, and acquire pitching depth from the Dodgers. Can the Jays keep rolling and make another push toward the playoffs?
We finish with Dan’s picks presented by bet365.
