Another month has come and gone for the Toronto Blue Jays and it’s been a wild ride. However, with tons of work to do to for that playoff push, what factors might get in the way after a bounce back month? We preview the month of June.

Well, May went fairly well didn’t it? The Toronto Blue Jays started it in serious trouble, after posting one of their worst records in a single month in franchise history.

As we reached the end of the month, it’s been an overall success.

Despite losing a good portion of their team throughout the month due to injury, it’s fair to say that the backups did their job in trying to save the season. The Blue Jays finished May with a 26-27 record and after starting the month 8-17, nine games below .500, they now see themselves within a game of that plateau.

Two months down, four to go in the 2017 MLB season. With that being said, let’s focus our attention to the month of June.

With confidence now on their side (especially after taking the series against the Texas Rangers), the Blue Jays look ahead to another grinding month.

Like the previous article that looked ahead to the month of May, we’ll talk about who the Blue Jays are set to face in June, an overall update on the team and its health, and how good of a problem the pitching has become.

Here we go with the month of June.
