So according to MLB.com, we actually clinched a playoff spot last night!! Its a weird technical clinch, but still, we're going to the PLAYOFFS!!!!!
Heading into Saturday's game against the Rays, it initially appeared that the Blue Jays -- who currently lead the Yankees by four games in the American League East -- had a magic number of one to clinch a postseason spot. However, the remaining schedule shows that Toronto is already guaranteed a trip to the playoffs.
The Astros and Angels, two of the main competitors for the second AL Wild Card berth, each entered play on Saturday with 74 losses, which would trigger a three-way tie with Toronto in their best-case scenario. But if Houston and Los Angeles win out, that would mean six additional losses for Texas.
In that scenario, the Rangers would finish no better than 87-75 -- or one game behind the Blue Jays if Toronto would lose their remaining games. If Texas can win one of its six games against the Astros or Angels, that would mean Houston or Los Angeles can't finish with a record better than 87-75.
The complex nature of Toronto's clinch made the moment rather anti-climactic, but it's also rather fitting, because the Blue Jays never intended on celebrating this moment. For Toronto, the goal all along has been to win the AL East.
