The Toronto Blue Jays just hit 70 wins in 120 games.

I won’t tell you this is a team of destiny, but the last time this franchise reached 70 wins in its first 120 games it set the stage for Toronto’s first World Series Championship.

Not bad at all when you consider that this year’s Blue Jays had the longest odds to win the AL East of all five teams in the division on MLB Opening Day.

It’s August 13th and Toronto is 4.5 games up on the Boston Red Sox for first place in the division with seven weeks remaining in the regular season.

FanDuel has Canada’s baseball team at -280 to win the AL East – a 74.4 per cent implied probability.

Sure, it seem a little bit premature to start running old World Series flashbacks in Sportscentre, but I’m not afraid to admit that lately I’ve been wondering where I left my 1992 World Series VHS tape.

Hey mom, when you have a second, could you check in your basement for me?

There’s a treasure chest down there somewhere with some absolute gems like D2: The Mighty Ducks, Angels in the Outfield and 3 Ninjas Kick Back.

The 1992 World Series VHS tape must be in there too.

As for this year’s team, the Blue Jays are back in action tonight as a -132 favourite against the Chicago Cubs.

Momentum can make or break a team’s position in the standings, and the Cubs are the perfect example of exactly that as they’ve gone from one of the hottest teams in baseball to one of the coldest after dropping six of their last........
