I think the Jays are too good for the Yankees to take the division.The Jays have actually been playing below potential. If you look at their record in 1 run games, they have almost the worst record in the league at 12-24, while the Yankees are 20-20.

They took a bunch of near losses early in the season, but are playing to their potential now. If you look at their expected win-loss based on their play, it could be argued that they're the best team in baseball.

I'm not sure what those stats about 1 run games are supposed to imply.. that stat takes into account the entire year, and when imade that comment, i was talking about since the AS break.

if you look at the entire year, I'd say they were playing below their potential at the beginning and they have certainly been playing above their potential recently. They're a really hot team right now.
