Summary
The Blue Jays are rolling, and they’ve officially turned the Wild Card race into a real conversation. Toronto exploded for 17 hits and 10 runs in a 10-5 win over Tampa Bay, winning their 13th game in their last 19. On game 128 preview of Flight Deck, Tyler Yaremchuk breaks down Alejandro Kirk’s incredible second-half resurgence, Kazuma Okamoto breaking the Blue Jays’ rookie home run record, and Jose Soriano battling through another outing to earn his first win in Toronto. We’ll also look at the defensive transformation that has helped fuel this recent run, Brett Bateman’s impact in the outfield, the decision to DFA Matt Waldron, and whether Max Scherzer can keep pitching like his old self. With the Jays continuing to climb the Wild Card standings, can they keep the momentum going and take the series from Tampa Bay? We finish with Tyler’s picks presented by bet365.
