The Toronto Blue Jays have just passed the Detroit Tigers for the best record in the American League. The Jays will look to keep their strong play going against Detroit in Game 1 of this four-game series.

The Blue Jays are 60–42 and sit first in the AL East. Toronto just went 5–1 on a six-game homestand, including taking two out of three from the New York Yankees. The offense scored at least four runs in all three games, and the pitching held up well. Both wins were by multiple runs, and the team continues to perform well against some of the top competition in the AL.
