The Toronto Blue Jays are on fire, riding a five-and-two win streak against the Red Sox and Yankees, with lights-out pitching and a bullpen that locks things down.

With pitching stepping up and key players finding their groove, the Blue Jays are proving they’re playoff contenders — and this series could define their season.
