<p>Well, that escalated quickly. Following an abysmal 1-5 road trip, and now a loss at the hands at Big Sexy to open their homestand, playoffs are all but a distant dream. Hopefully, the Jays can start winning a few, to at least keep the games fun to watch. What better time for fun than players weekend, with &#8220;Estradabien&#8221; leading the way.</p>

<p>Dillon Gee has put up excellent numbers in only 31.2 innings this year. The thing is though, Dillon Gee isn&#8217;t really that good. There&#8217;s bound to be some regression at some point, and his 4.63 xFIP points that way as well. Here&#8217;s hoping it&#8217;s against The Bringer of Rain and his crew.</p>
