Beat the Yankees week; why start Ryu(?) & playoff prediction

Spin Rate: A show about the Toronto Blue Jays

IT'S BEAT THE YANKEES WEEK. The season has, more or less, boiled down to this week for Toronto. Drew and Kaitlyn reflect on the Blue Jays-Twins series before discussing the Wild Card race and the Yankees' sweep of Boston. What will it take to stymie New York's momentum if you're Toronto? Why in the world is Hyun-Jin Ryu scheduled to pitch the series' premiere? And we share our will-the-Blue-Jays-make-the-playoff predictions. Plus, Vlad Sr/Jr. talk!
