Go Leafs go

So we want the Jays to lose today

Of course they will win

No we want them to win.
Dont go into the playoffs on a losing streak.
Wanting to play one team over another hasn't worked out in Toronto's favour

I don't care. Leafs could have been swept by Boston if they faced them.

You take the path of least resistance all day.

TB Baltimore

Minny Texas

The path here is obvious and in a meaningless game I hope the Jays lose.

Losing streak doesn’t matter in this situation. The guys who play will try to win but they’re not going to start the guys they most need to win. I’d much rather play Minnesota and Texas/Houston than Rays and O’s

Yay Europe!

I just learned today that whoever faces TB will face the O's if they win. TB and Baltimore back to back

Or the leafs could have beat them in 5.
For the jays, no team is easier
A losing streak going into the playoffs, not great. They wanna be the best, beat the best.

Also, win or lose they could still face tampa

All roads, NHL and MLB, pass through Tampa. How a meth-filled gatorhole became a crossroads of sports is beyond me.

Maybe. But you want the path of least resistance. there's no magic voodoo that tells us the Panthers win that series every time because it happened once.

The last game of the season does not matter, they will be resting guys. Don't know what you are going on about but who the (frank) cares if they go into the playoffs losing 2 games where one go those games is meaningless.

They would only play Tampa if it’s the AL Championship Series. It’s not just a Tampa vs Minnesota question. It’s a question of playing Tampa and then Baltimore

Well does Texas hold the tiebreaker?

Astros are 1 win behind for the division.

If Houston wins and Texas loses, Texas gets a bye. All games start at 3:00 which makes it kind of cool

Nope. The obstacle is the way. The path of most resistance is the domain of champions.

I'd rather a better chance of winning thanks.

Texas would be fun too.

Sometimes you are so positive about every outcome that it actually turns into a negative for the team you are cheering for

- Canada Cup

I think the Rays would also like to lose to not face the Astros

Really wonky standings here...Minny may be the worst of the bunch. TB in the WC series with their amazing record.

Mindset wise:

Fans think like you - athletes think like Zezel.

If Jays lose, Tampa could end up playing any one of Toronto, Houston or Texas

Obviously players play to win. Managers set the lineups though and at this stage for Toronto, winning isn’t the objective. Resting players, getting pitching set up is what matters.

Besides, we’re just talking about different scenarios and which one seems most promising

So we want the Jays to lose today

Of course they will win

It's the cheap taxes and "good weather", if saunas and hurricanes are your thing. Weather is good a couple days a year - when the eye of the hurricane is directly overhead.

You know what they say about Florida: practice for hell.
