It was the party or famine for the Blue Jays de Toronto during their recent travel on the road which included a record of Rockies of Colorado and a serial defeat against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The first place team is back home for a series of three games with the Chicago Cubs from Tuesday evening at the Rogers Center before a three-game weekend against the Texas Rangers.
Toronto leads the US league ranking at 69-50 and has a four-game advance on the Boston Red Sox entering the game on Monday evening.
Here is an overview of five Blue Jays scenarios to watch with about a quarter of the remaining season:
Bieber fever
The resurgence of the right -handed veteran Max Scherzer and the emergence of Southpaw Eric Lauer gave Toronto’s start -up rotation more stability.
The team of five men of the team, who also includes Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios and Chris Bassitt, could soon become a group of six men while Shane Bieber approaches a return.

Difficult decisions
Blue Jays will have difficult decisions to make this month while some great players should return to programming.
The second goal player Andres Gimenez will soon be activated after spending five weeks on the injured list with a sprain of the left ankle.
The designated voltiseur / striker George Springer, who has been absent for two weeks due to a concussion, could also come back soon.
The recent call boyfriend Kennedy is the most likely player to be sent. A second movement of the alignment should be a much more difficult call, since it will probably imply a player who sees a more regular playing time.
Arms race
Some right -handers to throw hard could make their mark at the level of the big leagues for the Blue Jays in the coming weeks.
Alek Manoah impressed in his early days of a minor league when he continues to accumulate after having undergone an elbow operation last year.
Manoah finished third in the Cy Young Award Prize in 2022 and is 29-20 with an MPM of 3.34 out of 75 career departures for Blue Jays.

Upon entering Monday’s matches, Toronto has a chance of 98.3 per hundred to qualify for the after-season, according to the projections of Fangraphs.
The website lists the Blue Jays at 78.1% to win the East Division and 65.8% to obtain a Bye in the first round in the Division series.
