[Boogie!]

We can’t worry about the Yankees at this point. Need to take care of our own destiny and win all 4.

All 3

So much easier!

If the Jays win the next four to close out the regular season, I will know for certain that the MLB isn't fixed against them. It would be a most impressive feat!

[Raps in 4]

We're lucky if we win 1 in this series.

Yankees might not win all 3, but they'll probably still pass us.

With the Dodgers clinching the division and the NL 1 and 2 seeds being out of reach, they'll probably rest everyone of value during the Mariners series, so Seattle will pass us too.

Baltimore should take at least 1 against the Yankees so we’ll probably have to win 2 against Tampa to clinch the division.

Anyone who knows this team's history over the last two decades against the Rays knows that winning this series is likely an insurmountable task.

[Potential]

The devil. The most unbeatable team ever. They own this franchise. I'm expecting 0-3 but if they can steal 1 because of us being at home then it would be huge for a little bit of hope going into Tuesdays wild card game. Simpson singlehandedly won the last 2 games against us last week. Just intentionally walk him every at bat and we might have a chance to not get swept

[GoRapstheoriginal]

We will need links for tonight's game plz/thx. F*ck Apple TV & F*ck Rogers.

mods please allow this as a 1 time exception. plz/thx.

Jays going 1-2 and Yankees going 2-1 seems the most probable scenario...

Every Ray is a Jays killer. That jersey gives them power.

Betting markets still have the Jays as about a 57-58% favourite to win the division.

It's a little high in my mind, but our odds are certainly over 30% in my view. Yes, there are negatives at play here, but we have a few positives going our way - we have our top of our rotation going this weekend, the Yanks have the bottom of the rotation going this weekend and the Yanks face Trever Rogers.

Tonight is a crucial night as its the best opportunity of the 3 days to make gains. There is a decent chance we could knock off 2 of the magic number tonight (not over 50% to be clear for you negative twits). It could also go bad of course
- We have starter #1/2 going tonight.
- Yanks have their #4/$ going against Rogers.
- We have some offensive momentum to build off (that could be lost quickly with a poor outing tonight)
- For both Tampa and Baltimore game 1 win would boost them the rest of the series, or a loss could just sink their spoiler motivations,

Jays going 1-2 and Yankees going 2-1 seems the most probable scenario...

I have Jays going 3-0 or 2-1 at worst and Yankees sweeping the O's or also going 2-1. What I think really happens? Both teams sweep, and Bluejays win Al east on their own terms.
If your the best team in AL for most of the season you should be able to take care of the Tropicana Lays.. GO JAYS

Tampa will do whatever it takes to give this division to the Jays (they hate the Yankees). You're going to see weird lineups, bullpen management and odd decisions - somehow Jays might still blow it.

Tampa just activated this afternoon one of their two best hitters (Aranda) just for this series after he had been out for two months.

They despise the Jays far more and will do anything to see them suffer.

Anyone ever get the 7 day free preview for Apple TV.

Is it easy to cancel? And would it be for all their content?

[Randle McMurphy]

Yandy Diaz in the lineup as well after being pulled from the game for injury yesterday. They despise us.

[Raps in 4]

There is a very real possibility the Rays will have a better run differential than us after this series.
