We're not home, but if we climb the telephone pole, we can definitely see our house from here.
According to https://www.playoffstatus.com/mlb/bluejaysclinch.html, there are three possibilities for the Jays to punch their ticket to the postseason tonight.
Jays need to win (and wow, a two day losing streak feels enormous at this time of the year, doesn't it?)
Two of the Tigers, Red Sox, and Guardians need to lose.
That's it. If we can take care of business, and two of our opponents can't, we're in. If we don't (or if they do) we play on.
Looks like a playoff-worthy rotation for the series.

After this, we hopefully get to start worrying about home-field advantage and the bye. But for now, lets win this.
