The Jays won a critical AL Divisional game versus the Red Sox to salvage their weekend – but also knock out one of the favorites not to be shutout before all other clubs.  Marco Estrada frustrated and stymied the Beantowers at the Rogers Centre.

With plenty of clubs having not played 5 games yet, Boston could finish higher than 23rd still, if those other clubs get walloped more than 3 – donut.

In MLB Runs Scoring Survivor, the Cubs picked off their 7th variations, and could be the 1st club to complete once they hit games where they score 8, 5, 3, 1 and 0 runs.  Perhaps the zero may be the toughest total to reel in for them.

There is a huge logjam at tied for 2nd with 5/11 variations.  Washington has only played 4 games, so you will have to forgive them for their low 2 different variations.

The Padres have completed 6 games this year. were shout 3 times to start the season, then scored 16 and 13 runs right after, and then finally place a number between 1 and 9 runs yesterday with 3.

We will take the amount of games played as the factor in determining who wins, so even if a club finishes 1st – all others would have to have passed the mark for them to be deemed the winner.  Tiebreakers will go to the clubs who scored the must runs on their final variation.  If there is still a tie, the standings for Runs Per Game (in the MLB) will be the next tiebreaker.

At the end of this article you can take our polls to vote which club you think will be blanked last (There is also a poll for 1st to win the MLB Runs Scoring Survivor.)

If the clubs tie on the game number, it will be the number of runs allowed that will determine their placing.  If still tied, team ERA will be the next tiebreaker.

I am happy to be back at the helm of the MLB Reports, after completing my record 224 Games in the MLB Trip in 2015.  It was the 4th time I have seen all 30 MLB Parks since 2008. 

During that time away I was fortunate to do 100 Media Interviews and be named the Baseball Blogger Alliance President.
