Game Change

The Jays’ 10-game win streak is over, following a game that brought all sorts of grumbling about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. much too easily back to the fore. But it has changed the trajectory of the club’s season immeasurably, as they now head into their final series before the All-Star Break with an 88% chance of making the playoffs, according to FanGraphs—up from just 42% at the start of the season, and 40% at the end of May. Churn at the bottom of the roster matters deeply now, trade deadline thoughts are dancing in everyone’s head, Bo Bichette has a platform from which he can make himself a whole hell of a lot of money next winter, Anthony Santander and Alek Manoah still have time to put their stamps on the season, and this week we talked about all of it—and more!
