I had tickets for that game. Gave them to my parents for a night out. If only I had known! Oh well, they remembered it to their dying day.
Blue Jays 2021

- Start date
I remember listening to that game on the radio when Tom and Gerry were calling games. Seems like a lifetime ago with today's media coverage.
Yankees tie it up. Mets score 1 in the bottom of the 8th. Stanton pops up with runners at 2nd and 3rd. Yanks lose.
Jays are at 68% now to make playoffs: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2021-mlb-predictions/
BoSox also at 68%
Yankees are 50/50
A's 7%
Seattle 7%

That seems purely record-based without taking momentum into account.
According to Silver momentum amounts to very little (at least when it comes to politics): https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-misunderstanding-of-momentum/
We'll see if he's right
Jays are looking better and better.
They're young and healthy and most of their components are peaking at the right time.
Ryu worries me a bit though but their other three starters are solid.
I have a sneaky feeling that Springer is going to really light it the last ten games o the season or so. He's had a habit of coming through and playing his best ball when it counts the most.
Gurriel has impressed me the most as of late........He's as underrated as they come.

If they have any professional pride, maybe the humiliating licking they took over the weekend will provide some motivation. Who better to take it on than the hated division rival Yanks.
As well, many of them are playing for contracts.
The Jays are playing the Rays, who have the 3rd best record in baseball, not “far and away the best” and the Yankees are playing the Twins, who have the 7th worst record in baseball, not “far and away the worst”.
