One note: I would have liked Toronto to contend for a Wild Card berth except that as of today the Blue Jays do not have a home ballpark. They may play at a minor league park that they clearly do not feel is up to major league standards, or they may play the entire season on the road. All in the middle of a global pandemic. Not good.

* New playoff format still being decided hours before Opening Day deadline and publication date.
