The Toronto Blue Jays share what their chances are and how they feel about heading into the pressure packed final game of the season.
If the Blue Jays beat the Rays or if the Orioles beat the Yankees, it's the Blue Jays who win the AL East and secure a first-round bye.
However, if the Blue Jays lose and the Yankees win, New York will win the division, pushing the Blue Jays into a Wild Card Series.
Sunday's Blue Jays scenarios:
It's a hell of a way to finish the regular season that began way back in February, and Blue Jays manager John Schneider intends to enjoy every moment.
"This is the exact situation you want to be in..
Baseball is funny, man, 162 is a lot and then you look up and it comes down to 162"
John Schneider on Sunday's potential division-clinching game w/Kevin Gausman starting.
"There's a 100% chance we're wearing the white panel hats"

John Schneider's message to the Blue Jays is to focus on the task at hand
Don't worry about the out-of-town scoreboard and instead focus on taking care of business at Rogers Centre. If the Blue Jays do that, good things can happen.
Ernie Clement gave his thoughts on how good he thinks his team is heading into the postseason.
Asked about the potential of the 2025 Blue Jays, Ernie Clement said: «No doubt in our minds we can win the World Series.»
«I love this team and I love the fans, this is amazing.»

A win, and the Blue Jays don't play until Saturday at Rogers Centre.
A loss, paired with a Yankees win over Baltimore, and the Blue Jays would host a Wild Card Series starting Tuesday.
Kevin Gausman likely wouldn't be available for that series, but it's a risk Schneider's ready to take given the upside of a first-round bye.
Ernie Clement on Kevin Gausman getting the ball for Blue Jays' Game 162: "That's our guy."
The right-hander who's registered 184 strikeouts this season is not the type to visualize what he wants to accomplish ahead of his outings.
«I think that's an unrealistic expectation to think that your mind is going to be able to determine what is going to happen,» Gausman said. «I definitely mentally prepare, but I'm also not trying to put any more pressure on myself, you know? I'm just going to go out and pitch my game.»
