Clinching for the Playoffs is challenging, and who can understand this better than the Toronto Blue Jays? With their current condition, the Blue Jays are hanging in a state where losing a single game can prove fatal for them. The interesting part is The New York Yankees are giving them a hard time. While their hope for qualifying for the playoffs is already gone, The Yankees are giving a last blow to the Canadian team.

The ongoing 3-game series against The Yankees was vital for the Blue Jays to qualify for the playoffs, but things took a turn when they lost the first two games. Despite the postseason miss, the Yankees Captain is on fire and he blew out the entire opponent in the second game of the series on Wednesday. With the series, the Blue Jays almost reached on the edge of their Wild Card spot hopes.

The New York Yankees’ Magical Performance

The Bronx Bombers have suffered the entire season. Who expected they would make a return? That’s also after their doors to enter the postseason were entirely closed? However, the Yanks made it, and this return is proving costly for The Blue Jays, who almost secured their Wild Card Spot before losing the two games consecutively. The postseason is going to begin in less than a week. So, all the teams have been doing their best to secure a spot. Amidst that, Aaron Judge is giving the last bites to the 2x World Series champions before their season ends.

While the Yankees captain missed most of his season because of his injury, he returned with great grandeur. Had he played the entire season, the Yanks could not have suffered this badly. Though he could not save the Yankees’ season, he is now giving his best to prove his potential. A few days after his hitting the home run milestone, the 2022 AL-MVP again set a mark on Wednesday at Rogers Center. He hit two more homers in a single game, leading his team to a 6-0 victory.

The first home run was in the 4th inning, and it was one of the thundered shots with 112.3 MPH speed. This not only shocked the audience but also the members of the team standing in the dugout. The second home run was during the seventh. Also, the star pitcher of the team gave the captain proper assistance with a two-hitter and nine scoreless innings. The opponent could not stand in front of these attacks and lost the game, making their playoffs chase more vulnerable.

The Toronto Blue Jays Probability to Qualify For the Playoffs

The Blue Jays season was unpredictable. While sometimes they played extraordinary, otherwise, they played average. Again, their season is standing near an unpredictability. While before The Yankees series started, they had been standing 3 games behind from qualifying for the playoffs, their standing is still the same. The only difference is two game defeats now leave them with 4 upcoming games, 1 against The NY-based team and 3 against The Tampa Bay Rays, needing them to win at least 3 among them.

There’s still hope for The Jays to enter the Wild Card Spot, but another game defeat against the Yankees may change the scenario. In that case, they need to sweep The Bay Rays, which is of course not a cakewalk. What are your thoughts on Toronto Blue Jays playoff chances? Share your thoughts with us.
