2023 Blue Jays Playoff Preview

2022 Wildcard – Toronto @ Minnesota

The Regular Season dust has settled and the first round of the 2023 Major League Baseball Post-Season is upon us.

The Toronto Blue Jays are making their 3rd Post-Season appearance since 2020. The Minnesota Twins have appeared in the Playoffs once since 2020, and have not won a Post-Season game since 2004. However, the Blue Jays have not won a Playoff game since 2016. So both clubs and their fans are starving for a win.

The Twins, although with fewer wins, are the American League Central Champions. While the Blue Jays were a distant 3rd in the AL East, 12.0 games back of the Baltimore Orioles and 10.0 games back of the 2nd place Tampa Bay Rays. Despite a lower W-L record, the Twins are seeded higher than Toronto due to Major League Baseball’s Post-Season format where the division winner takes precedence with regard to seeding.

The clubs do have Post-Season history. The Twins beat the Blue Jays in the 1991 American League Championship Series 4 games to 1.
