It's interleague play that is killing the Jays. Cle(6-9), LAA(5-10),Tex(6-9), Tor(7-8) are the only AL teams with losing records to the NL. And look at some of the records being run up against the sr. circuit:
Boston(14-1)
CWS(12-3)
Detroit(13-2)
Sea(13-2)
TBay(10-5)
I am in favour of interleague play, but it is killing the Jays.
Take out those games and the Jays are tied with Yankees(but Yankees have 2 games in hand) and both are 2 up on Boston(who also has 2 games in hand on the Jays).
