## Resource

The Toronto Blue Jays are back to .500 for the first time since June 22 after a win over the Kansas City Royals. After being 10 games under .500 in late July, Toronto has now won six of its last seven and suddenly finds themselves right back in the playoff conversation. On game 143 preview of Flight Deck, Nick Paleolog breaks down the Blue Jays’ offensive surge, the latest concerns surrounding the starting rotation after Jameson Taillon exited early, and whether Max Scherzer can build off his vintage performance against Seattle. Can the Blue Jays keep rolling and complete the series win? Nick previews today’s matchup between Scherzer and Seth Lugo and looks at what Toronto needs to do down the stretch.
