Toronto Blue Jays fans stunned by team's poor record against division rivals: "Horrifying and impressive all at once" "Absolute frauds"

The Toronto Blue Jays are bordering on playoff contention right now. They're 10 games back of the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East and 1.5 games back of the third wild card slot. If the season ended today, they'd be on the outside looking in but they're on the cusp.Despite not being in the current playoff picture, Toronto boasts a solid 37-31 record. That record may be a little bit inflated against weaker competition, though.Tim Micallef@tim_micallefThe Blue Jays are 6-16 in the AL East...31-15 vs everyone else.45238The Blue Jays are 6-16 in the AL East...31-15 vs everyone else.The Jays are 6-16 against the AL East, which includes the Rays, the Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees, and Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox are 33-35, but everyone else has a winning record better than that of the Blue Jays.Remove the AL East from Toronto's schedule and their record is a sterling 31-15. That's good for a .674 win percentage, which is slightly behind the Rays for the best in baseball.MLB fans are a bit surprised to see a 2022 playoff team that was expected to contend once more this season struggle against the best competition in baseball.nude egg@itsHABitual_Horrifying and impressive all at once.

As it stands, the Houston Astros would be the third wild card, with the Yankees and Orioles taking the first two.The Toronto Blue Jays will need to surpass the AstrosIf they're to catch or surpass others for a playoff spot, they're going to have to outdo those two AL East teams - that likely means beating them head-to-head. They'll have some opportunities, though not as many as in years past.The alternative is to hope the Astros flare out, but that's not very likely either. With the Texas Rangers also playing incredible ball, there aren't many playoff spots left to look for.The Blue Jays have the talent to compete with these teams, they just need to start playing like it against their division so they can climb the standings and return to the playoffs.If they can't, they'll be faced with yet another offseason of questions as the core of Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. lost another season.
