Sure, they could win five games in a row at some point. They will also likely lose 4-5 games in a row again at some point this season. Can they play .600 baseball the rest of the way, with below average to bad pitching?
They won last night, but gave up 7 runs at home. Not a great recipe for success.
I'm cheering for the Jays, but I believe it is a long-shot now. Why can't they continue to be this bad?

I'd bet, depending on the odds. Straight up, no. But I bet we all see this team differently in a month. If they are at .500, the narrative changes and they no longer need to "play .600 ball". It's a small sample size, and it's really early.
