AL Playoff Picture and MVP Pulse with Jeff Passan

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Blue Jays' 6-5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, moving their magic number to clinch a playoff spot down to three. They get into the fan-interference review, José Berríos' outing, and Jeff Hoffman's velocity. Then, ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan (16:15) stops by to discuss the AL MVP race after Cal Raleigh's recent switch-hitting milestone, why the Yankees' place in the standings doesn't hurt Aaron Judge's case, George Springer's resurgent season and how the Jays might use Trey Yesavage in the playoffs. Later, Jeff and Kevin break down Joey Loperfido's pinch-hit home run in the fifth inning.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
