Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back: Will the Real Blue Jays Please Stand Up?
- As of June 2, 2025, the Toronto Blue Jays have a 31-28 record and are positioned just half a game behind a wild-card spot in the American League.
- After a mid-season tailspin and a six-game road trip scoring only six runs, Toronto reversed course with a four-game sweep of the Athletics.
- The Blue Jays' bullpen ranks ninth in the majors with a 3.47 ERA, led by closer Jeff Hoffman's 13 saves in 16 chances, while the starting rotation remains serviceable but could improve.

- Projections place Toronto’s chances of reaching the playoffs between 43 and 49 percent, making their postseason appearance a roughly even bet, although the team has not secured a playoff victory since 2016.
