Wild Card Fever in Toronto + Jeff Passan

Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Blue Jays 5-3 win over the Boston Red Sox to pull closer in the American League's Wild Card race. They discuss the team's recent pitching uptick, the addition of reliever Paul Sewald, Dylan Cease's dip in velocity, Brendon Little's adjustments, why Brett Bateman gives the lineup a different look, and the pressure on Vladdy Jr. down the stretch. Later, ESPN MLB insider and host of 'Sources Tell' Jeff Passan stops by (28:30) to share his thoughts on the Jays' post-deadline bump, whether the Dodgers' recent offensive woes makes them vulnerable in the playoffs, whether Mark Walter selling the Lakers could have an impact on the Dodgers, the concern around Paul Skenes after his latest start was cut short, and why Cam Schlittler has the edge over Cease in the AL Cy Young race.
