The Blue Jays know they are going to the playoffs but are still leering at their first American League East title since 1993. They check into Baltimore for four of their final seven regular season games on the road.

The Orioles are trying to salvage their season and avoid the basement of the AL East. Their 76-79 record leaves them just one game ahead of Boston and Tampa Bay. They were swept at Fenway Park over the weekend to offset a three-game sweep of their Beltway Rivals, the Washington Nationals.
The Jays look to whittle down their magic number of four to clinch the East after winning 90 of their first 155 games. They hold a four-game lead over the New York Yankees and are still tied with Kansas City for the best record in the American League. Again, if the Jays and Royals finish the season with identical records, the Jays get the nod for the number one seed after winning four of seven against K.C. earlier this year.
