Toronto Blue Jays hit quarter pole with 24-16 record
A .600 winning percentage would be good for a first-place position in two of the six divisions in Major League Baseball. It’s not even close to top spot in the powerhouse American League East.
Toronto opened the campaign with a 6-4 road trip but the team has run hot and cold in recent weeks. A six-game winning streak in late April was followed by a five-game losing skid. If the season were to end Monday, the Blue Jays would have the second wild-card position in the American League. Matt Chapman was one of the team’s early standout performers although he has cooled off of late. The third baseman was the American League player of the month for April after hitting .384 with five homers and 21 RBI.
“I think there’s some individual aspects to our roster that I think is going to correct,” Atkins said. “We’ve already seen some of that with Brandon Belt and Daulton Varsho. And then I think we’re going to see things sync up better.”
