On this episode of the JD Bunkis Podcast, JD reacts to the Blue Jays clinching home field for their Wild Card series, and discusses what that could mean for the rotation, the lineup, and Whit Merrifield's role going forward. Soon after, Capitals winger Connor Brown (04:23) chats about his off-season move from Canada’s capital to America’s, how it feels playing alongside Alexander Ovechkin as he chases the all-time goal record, and shares a bit about Matt Murray as a team mate and how he thinks he will handle Toronto. Then, Josiah Bosch and Pete Walker join JD to look ahead to some interesting betting lines in Week 5 of the NFL (21:43), presented by DraftKings! Later on, Canadian 16-year MLB veteran Ryan Dempster (32:19) weighs in on Kevin Gausman’s injury concerns, Alek Manoah's red-hot September leading into the postseason, and the impact that home field advantage can have for the Jays in the Wild Card.
