The Toronto Blue Jays are currently 40-43 and in last place in the American League East.

In some divisions, that record would have them just a couple games out of first place. Instead, there are four teams and 10 games between the Blue Jays and first place Tampa Bay Rays.

The Blue Jays have been one of the most inconsistent teams in baseball this year, having various periods where they are exceptionally hot or cold.

The starting pitching has been pretty solid, but the team suffers from a lack of run producers in their lineup. Vernon Wells is their only big bat, and opponents can pitch around him with so many other weak hitters in the lineup.
