The good news in all of this is that there could potentially be a path to the WS for the Jays that doesn't involve playing an AL East opponent.
Finish in the 3rd WC spot.
Round 1: Minnesota
Round 2: AL West winner
Round 3: AL West WC team (defeated Tampa and Baltimore en route)
WS: The Dodgers, a team the Jays seem to be able to beat
