The Toronto Blue Jays have experienced a remarkable turnaround this season, going from a sub-.500 record to leading the American League East. After a challenging May, where they were eight games behind the New York Yankees, the Blue Jays have surged with an impressive 26-10 record since May 28.

This impressive run includes a four-game sweep against the Yankees, a feat never before achieved in franchise history, and an ongoing eight-game winning streak. The team has not only excelled in terms of wins but has shown significant improvement in various metrics, including situational baseball, exemplified by their league-leading 20 sacrifice bunts.

George Springer has been a standout performer, leading the MLB with 21 RBIs in the last two weeks, and Alejandro Kirk has also made notable contributions, ranking second among catchers in batting average. Despite missing key players like Anthony Santander and Max Scherzer for parts of the season, the Blue Jays have successfully built momentum as they approach the All-Star Game.
