Just A Word Of Advice

Peter King would be best served keeping all his non-football thoughts to himself and out of his football articles. Inevitably, when King does dare to tackle another sport besides the one he is paid to cover, the conclusions he makes are inaccurate.

a. I told you about the Blue Jays. They'll be in it at the end. What a lineup.

The Blue Jays actually do have a very good lineup. So far, after seventeen games, the Blue Jays are OPS'ing .878, which is second only to the Yankees. However, their pitching is absolutely atrocious since they allow their opponents to OPS .810 against them. And if that was not bad enough, the team ERA is 5.19, good enough to rank the Blue Jays twenty-first out of the thirty major league teams.

The Blue Jays' record so far: 9-8. Yeah, Peter, you told us.

On another note, I am fully aware of the fact that the Yankees' record is also 9-8, but they have outscored their opponents by thirty-five runs. The Blue Jays have only outscored their opponents by eleven runs. Therefore, we can expect to Yankees to finish the season with a significantly better record than the Blue Jays. In all likelihood, the Blue Jays will finish third in the AL East Division behind the Yankees and the Red Sox.
