Plouffe hit a home run! Hicks hit a home run! Boyer, Duensing, and May each pitched a scoreless inning! We're still at .500 through two-thirds of the season!
Mom always said, if you can't say anything nice, just don't say anything. We'll just have to settle for 108-54!
They didn't share the statistical source, but last night on the four-letter, the guys on the baseball show cited a 21% chance for the Jays to win the AL East. After watching their offense and pitching against the Twins, I have a hard time believing the chance is that small.
If they could play the Twins all the time, it looks like their chance would be 100%.
Maybe, but the Twins did manage to take 2/3 from them earlier this year ... so there's that.
earlier this year
yup.
and they can't take that away - don't you forget it.
Ah, but it's the Yankees that are first. ESPN knows the Twins still have three games away against the Yankees.
They're 4.5 games back, but it seems like the 13 or so head-to-head games between those clubs should give them a better chance than 21%. They're 4-2 against NY already this year.
FanGraphs has them at 31% for the division.
