The Toronto Blue Jays have been in first place in the American League East since midseason, but with just four games remaining on the regular-season schedule, their position is in jeopardy.
The Blue Jays have seen the New York Yankees tie them for the top spot. The Blue Jays have the tiebreaker edge because they won the season series, but manager John Schneider 's team must come through in 1 game against the Boston Red Sox and 3 against the Tampa Bay Rays if they are going to hold off the Yankees.
New York appears to have an easier end of season assignment as they have 1 game remaining with the Chicago White Sox and 3 with the Baltimore Orioles.
The bigger problem besides the schedule remains the absence of shortstop Bo Bichette . He will be out the remainder of the regular seaso
