Also note that the Twins and Yankees have games in hand as well, as do the Rangers.
As for the wild card, there is starting to be separation, as the Angels struggle, Tigers remained mired in mediocrity, and the O's still have troubles with their starting pitching staff. Now all the Jays need is the Twins, Rays and Yankees to go into a slump while we win.. of course, we play the Rays next and can do that ourselves.
