Following yesterday's off-day, the fully rested Blue Jays are back at home and gearing up for a pivotal 10 game stretch. Blake Murphy kicks off the show with Jonah Birenbaum, senior editor at theScore, to discuss the state of the Wild Card race, the idea of the Jays missing opportunities all season, and how the team's confidence level can change if Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. catch a hot streak. Later, the guys look ahead to next week's crucial series with the Texas Rangers, before previewing this weekend's matchup against the Kansas City Royals (28:26). Next up, Esteban Rivera of Fangraphs joins the show to chat about the success story of Cole Ragans this season, the idea of the New York Yankees making a comeback in the Wild Card race, and if the Jays withstand the Wild Card competition in September (51:10). Finally, Sportsnet's own Arden Zwelling stops by to discuss the Blue Jays' injury updates, Bo Bichette’s expected return, what's holding up Matt Chapman's recovery, and why these next 10 games at home are crucial for the Blue Jays (01:15:01).
