I think most people, me included, were thrilled to get the Twins as an opponent in 2023 given the alternative (the Rays), and that still led to an embarrassing two game sweep. My mindset now is get the bye, clinch the best record in the AL so that home field is guaranteed throughout the AL side of the playoffs, and whatever that leads to in terms of opponents is what it is. Luckily if the Jays continue to have a good week then they should be able to get the best record and avoid a 2015 situation where the Royals ended up overtaking them in the final 4 games of the season (home field against the Royals in the ALCS that year could have changed that series completely).
