I'm still apprehensive about the Jays because of their pitching. Osuna has been great, but curious to see how he does in the playoffs. Watching Dickey and Buehrle pitch produces the feeling they could implode at any given moment.

I think the Cardinals are a class above everyone else this year. That pitching staff is just filthy.

Also, I hope the Mets don't choke in September for once, because it would be beautiful to see the Nationals miss the playoffs.

The Jays are on a rampage, and still get no love by espn

NCAAF and NFL are coming up. So not only will the Jays get no attention, baseball as a whole will struggle to get anything more than highlights of two or three games.

I agree about beuhrle, he admitted that he's feeling the strains. We should be steady with Price, estrada, and hopefully stroman. Its been such a playoff drought that were just happy to be in the race, and leading it. Jays are a massive market with billionaire owners, so were glad to see theyre not nickel and dime-ing it anymore.

Cards are a crafty team, It can go any way in the NL cuz so many teams are strong with pitching. I hope the dodgers burn away and the Cubs make some noise.

TBH I have no problem with the jays winning the east. That team is disgusting. That lineup is going to give fits to rotations & bullpens in the playoffs.

I think they have a real shot of going all the way. Unless they face the Yankees I'd probably pull for them to win it all.

Where are you located in Canada? The GTA? PM me if you don't want to post it.

The fact the three teams in the NL Central are the three best teams in the NL, and only one will make the NLCS is a travesty.

I think the cards have some flaws that will get exposed in the playoffs. Their line up is not that deep and while the pitching is filthy their manager has been known to make questionable moves. I'm pulling for Mets to come out of no where and knock off the Cards.

The east will be decided in the next two weeks, the Yankees and jays play like 7 times. I favor the Jays because of their line up.

I like the 2nd wc even more now, it really does favor an end to end fight for the division, it makes it more exciting. No one wants to be in a 1 game playoffs look at the A's last year it felt like they didn't even make the playoffs really. I remember year when there was only one wild card where teams didn't even care about the division.

Go Pirates at this point. Sorry to say, don't like Toronto and it's strange to think I'm ok with this current Yankees team. Never thought I'd say that.

The playoff races look pretty much over...2nd AL Wild Card spot/AL West is the only thing even close to being in danger.

And a star is born. Carlos Correa is a (going to be an even bigger) monster.
