How Can the Blue Jays Clinch a Playoff Spot?

The Blue Jays beat the Yankees on Monday. They need three wins and two Orioles losses to clinch a spot in the postseason.

The Blue Jays need to beat the Yankees on Tuesday and the Orioles to lose to the Red Sox on Wednesday to clinch a playoff spot.

The Blue Jays need to win three games and hope that the Orioles lose to Red Sox on Wednesday to clinch a playoff spot.

The Blue Jays are on the brink of missing the playoffs. If the Jays finish 3-6, they will clinch an October spot regardless of Baltimore's wins.

The Blue Jays can still win the American League East division with a victory on Monday. They need to sweep the three-game set against the Yankees and finish the season with five more wins than the other team.

The Blue Jays are 2.5 games up on the Rays for the top Wild Card spot and 3 games ahead of the Mariners. Seattle and Tampa have a tiebreaker advantage over Toronto due to head-to-head records.

The Jays control their destiny to clinch a ticket to October and lock up an opening series at home.
