MLB Power Rankings - September Edition


Now things are getting serious folks. Let's do a little math: 133 games down and our Toronto Blue Jays are 19 games over .500 at 76-57. 29 games left. Even if they go 14-15 they end up 90-72, which makes the playoffs. Things are looking good here folks. MLB has Toronto's postseason projection at a season-high 94.3% That's good. Really good. 

So what are the American media moguls saying about those pesky birds from the north?

CBSSports has us 4th overall, with a quirky Benoit stat:


The heroes over at FiveThirtyEight have us at a lofty #2 overall:


ESPN 4th, mentioning DEPTH:
