The Jays’ dramatic ninth-inning collapse against Cincinnati contrasted with Boston’s bullpen dominance, spotlighting how late-game relief decisions swing fantasy outcomes. Chapman’s veteran reliability for Boston and Hoffman’s closing role for Toronto frame a deeper bullpen debate: which arms can be trusted in the late innings as AL East races tighten?

Stat lines underscore the gap: Jays’ bullpen blown-saves tally and walks rival the Red Sox’s historically stingy homer allowance and overall bullpen ERA. Add in the Yankees’ late-season bullpen churn and the looming challenge of managing saves, holds, and matchup-based relief usage for fantasy rosters.
