Winning the division is out of reach, so just make the playoffs and hope you get hot. That's how you win the World Series.

Prior to the start of the season, the Jays were the 2nd betting favorite to win the WS. Now they're the 5th favorite, with the Yankees and Astros having far shorter odds. Plenty has gone wrong that wasn't expected to. I'd honestly be surprised if the Jays finish with 90+ wins.
That said, indeed, anything can happen in the playoffs.
