As bad as things seemed, the Jays have put up a 9-5 record in their last 14 games which were at Seattle x 3, vs. Yankees x 4, vs. Baltimore x 4, and at Boston x 3. Those teams combined to have a .543 winning percentage. So although the Jays maybe aren't hot. They have been consistently winning against good competition.

Also in those 5 losses, only 1 of those was a game where they didn't have a good chance to win.

We'll see if any of this means anything, but in recent years teams that came out of the Wild Card have had some momentum into the playoffs. Even Houston last year was one inning away from killing off the Royals. They had that series early in game 4 until one bad inning changed everything.
