We get to play the Orioles 3 more games, and after bottoming out hard earlier this month, they are now 6-4 in their last 10 and starting to play better. Also, considering the history between the Jays and Orioles, you know they can't wait to play spoiler or possibly plunk some batters "accidentally".
Having a bunch of divisional games to end the year is not going to be an easy feat for the Jays, regardless of the records. The good news is that the Yankees also play a lot of divisional games and have a tough team in the Mets to play. Also, being without Texeira and Eovaldi for the rest of the year is going to be really tough on them.

Yes, but this series will be the Red Sox in Toronto, which is a better matchup.
And I was simply talking about this week. Yes, lots of divisional games to come after that.
The point is that they have a chance this week to extend the lead
before the rest of the divisional games.
