Rotation Gets Thinner: Toronto Blue Jays vs Kansas City Royals Game 133 Preview | Flight Deck

The Blue Jays dropped the rubber match 8-3 to the Yankees, losing their first three game series since July 24th and falling to two games back of the final Wild Card spot with just 30 games remaining.

On game 133 preview of Flight Deck, Nick Paleolog breaks down Jose Soriano’s tough afternoon, Toronto’s struggles with runners in scoring position, and the bullpen meltdown that turned a 2-2 game into a five-run deficit.

Nick will also look at Shane Bieber landing on the 15-day IL and what another rotation injury means for the Jays’ playoff push, with Cease, Soriano, Scherzer and Arrighetti currently the only healthy starters.

Then, we break down the math behind Toronto’s playoff chances: 23-7 to reach 87 wins, or 20-10 to get to 84. Is that enough to clinch the final American League wild card spot?

Plus, Nick previews Max Scherzer vs. Seth Lugo as the Jays begin a crucial series against Kansas City. With just 30 games left, can the Blue Jays keep their playoff hopes alive?

We finish with Nick’s picks presented by bet365.
