For NYY to make 92 wins they need 24 more in 37 games, which is 0.650 baseball or a 105 win pace. It isn't impossible but isn't likely either, and if the Jays can win even one or two extra games better than 500 they almost certainly put it away.
They've also opened up a 4.5 game lead on the Astros, which is good as that wild card round bye seems pretty important to me. Hopefully they can go four out of six combined against the Marlins/Twins. Would be good to take advantage of weaker teams, especially as the Yankees have a fairly week schedule (eg 7 games vs CWS)

All teams get expanded rosters in September which is important for the Jays as they are one of the teams that will benefit greatly from being able to have all their depth available. They just to stay healthy!
I think I'm with everyone else with the question of what does Bieber have left in him!?
