A successful second half of the season would look much different for the Toronto Blue Jays than it would for the Oakland Athletics.
For the 51-40 Blue Jays, the AL East remains within reach and anything less than a Wild Card berth would be a disappointment. At 38-51, the Athletics are already out of the playoff mix. Success for Oakland would be getting a meaningful return for pending free agents like Rich Hill and Josh Reddick while seeing development from young players.
