Not at all. NY would definitely be a better match-up.

For sure. I'm just scared of them. Not that it should matter, but I find all the Jays v Yankees games could have gone either way. No Tex helps. Games against them (for the most part) are over if you're trailing by the end of the 7th

Both would rather play each other than the Jays, I'm sure.

Jays won't see KC until the ALCS if they both make it. The ALDS will be vs. the Yanquis/Astros/Rangers/Angels/Twinkies. Of those four, I'm least worried about the Astros, especially since Keuchel would have started the wild card play-in game.

For the most part on NYY, Tanaka and Miller worry me the most. Those guys can eat the Jays alive at times.

by how many points? or do you mean their play in general?
- zazzle



Their play in general.. I'm horrible at predicting where they finish cuz I had them in the playoffs the past 3 years. I can see them finishing anywhere from 8th to 11th this year so 77-88pts. Oh man, I'm gonna take a beating on this forum for this predictioin

Yeah and Betances. And Bailey is pretty good. Anyway, the Jays are good and will have to best the other good teams in the league so it's no biggie. I do find guys like Arod, Headley and Beltran can be clutch at the most annoying time

Oh yeah I agree. I'm just wary of NY still. Texas can also pose a problem. Especially bloody Gallardo. Any who, all teams are dangerous, thus making the playoffs

I honestly think too much stock is being put into Babcocks "powers" out of the gate. I predict a finish of 28th.

I like that the Jays can seem to pull clutch hits from the bottom of the order which will be HUGE for them.

Zajac for JVR, Gauthier and Connor Brown.

That's the impact.

Jays are the fav's over them all but my fear is coming up against dominant pitching. I think the Yanks and 'Stros are the only teams that could possibly find that kind of pitching.

This team won't be as bad as most think. But they'll still be bad. Your guess is as good as anyone elses! I predict an 8th last finish.

97 points was the lowest total of any playoff team last year, 96 might not do it.
No way the Leafs even come close to that anyway.

Yeah - Texas is the most concerning ALDS opponent in my estimation. They also picked up an ace (Hamels) and a bat or two at the deadline and have been almost as hot as the Jays since. Facing Hamels and Gallardo in a best of 5 is no cakewalk.

I'm banking more on the players then the coach. Too many guys trying to prove something and earn a paycheque. They actually have something to prove. I see them getting out the gates quick and doing well, then being mediocre and then tumbling right out of contention into 11th-12th. But it wouldn't surprise if they did make it or come close

Yeah. As much as all the hullabaloo surrounding the big three and Tulo is great, you gotta love Revere, Goins and Pillar
