This is the year.

If you haven’t been checking in on the Jays, they are at the top of the MLB right now. They are dominating the Tigers. They breezed through the Yankees. Competition is stacked this year but we are still hitting the top. The jump in performance from April has been insane!
The next two weeks could be a breeze but we have the Dodgers and Cubs coming up in mid-August! Let’s go Jays!
There could be a run here but we still have a long way to playoffs and this year is neck-and-neck for many high calibre teams. It has been a great year to watch the Jays prove themselves.
We have the strong core of Bo, Vladdy, Springer. Their hitting this year was great but still below the high expectations. Many pitchers have figured Vladdy out and he isn’t hitting like he should be. Bo had a slow start to the year and was probably working out past injuries. Where the team really started to explode was the well-rounded roster. Kirk, Barger, Clement, Lukes.. These guys all had some big hot streaks this year and the team chemistry hit a stride.
Relief pitching is probably our weak point but we have some strong starters right now. Berrios, Gausman, and Lauer have been incredible this year. The bullpen still needs work.
