I am not sure playing in the AL East is really hurting the Jays so much that they would raise their win total by 8-10 games necessary to make the play-offs.

For sure they would, for example look at last season... Jays have to play ~ 18 games against each of the Red Sox, Yankees and Rays which were three of the better teams in the American League.
Where as the other division play consistantly against very weak teams. It makes a huge difference.
