"Fangraphs projected standings predict a tight race between the five teams in the AL East. The Yankees have the highest projected record of 87-75, one game ahead of the Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox, who are both projected to finish the season with an 86-76 record."
"Fangraphs projects the Blue Jays losing eight more games this year compared to 2025. While they would make the postseason, they'd have a much more difficult road back to the World Series, having to go through the Wild Card round."
"The AL East is expected to be the toughest American League division. Based on the projected standings, all three Wild Card spots would go to teams in the AL East."
The Toronto Blue Jays are gearing up for the 2026 season after a near World Series victory in 2025. Key players Bo Bichette and Chris Bassitt have departed, but the team added several new players, including pitchers Dylan Cease and Cody Ponce. Projections indicate a competitive AL East, with the Yankees leading at 87-75, followed closely by the Blue Jays and Red Sox at 86-76. The Blue Jays are expected to enter the postseason as a Wild Card team, facing challenges in a tough division.
