MLB Playoff Picture Check-In with Leroux and Ben Verlander

Justin Cuthbert and Jesse Rubinoff kick things off with Sportsnet’s Chris Leroux (1:35) ahead of the Jays series opener against the Rays! They break down the Jays historical performances against Tampa Bay, if the Jays can make the postseason with their stars continuing to struggle, Soriano’s early returns for Toronto and what to expect from him on the mound tonight, and much more. Then, Ben Verlander joins the show (25:20) as they discuss the playoff races around the MLB, if a team below .500 battling hard for a wild card spot good for the league, why he believes the Jays surging players and schedule leave them poised for a postseason berth, if the Tigers will regret their deadline moves, and more. Then, they discuss if the Rays are the top team in the AL, if the Red Sox run was as convincing as it seemed, the Dodgers tough stretch of play as of late and where their issues lie, if the Brewers are good enough to win the World Series, and much more!
