Our current bullpen is almost guaranteed to blow one or more games in a short series, which would likely be enough to seal our fate.

Thing is that the bullpen is bolstered in the playoffs because they don't need 5 starters. As we saw tonight Liriano was huge out of the pen, and if the Jays only run with 3 starters for the best of 5 ALDS, Stroman could come out of the pen too.
