is a Sunday night. We're back talking a lot more baseball. All coming up next in the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

New promo, though, Jeff. I was not expecting that. That was quick.

Hey, everybody at the Sunday evening, welcome to the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball podcast. I am Scott Jemstad.

Join us always on Sunday nights by Jeff Erickson. I don't know why we plan the two blue shirts here, but apparently we're matching tonight. But, uh, worn purple, obviously, but oh well. Obviously, yeah. Um, if you can please rate and review the podcast, we greatly appreciate that. Jeff, it's, uh, I'm gonna call it the halfway point.

We're a little past the halfway point in baseball,

but it's time to get going here.

How are you?

Doing all right. I'm actually pretty good, doing all right, even though my main event team totally sucks. And I'm bad at fantasy baseball, apparently again, at least in that league. I'm doing well. Watch a lot of baseball today. Watched a lot of baseball a week and long.

So it was good. We had a full slate on the 4th of July and that's the way it should be. So there is that. Yeah, all in all, pretty good. Yeah, when you're 4th of July on a Friday, it tends to help the slate. But it was a good slate. It was a good weekend of baseball. tomorrow Blue Jains probably the story of baseball right now.

Eight straight wins, three-game lead in the in the east.

They swept the Yankees to take the lead. Crazy. Toronto's red hot right now. They are balling. Yeah, they are. They really are. And, you know, the funny thing about them is they're balling, yet it's always a narrow, you know, they won by one again today, for instance. they're balling yet it's always a narrow they won by one again today for instance

they're run differential they're they are you know they've won what not not eight in a row

they're 14 games over 500 they're plus that they're plus 12 and run differential so they are doing

all these little things one of the things that they're doing in I was digging into them a little

is they just don't strike out.

In the last 30 days, I think it's like a 16% strikeout rate. So they just extend innings, I feel like. They force teams to make plays, all that sort of stuff. Eight straight wins. One of them is by more than three runs, and they swept the Angels all in one run game this weekend. Kind of crazy. Yeah, exactly.

And sweat the big thing was the four-game sweep over the Yankees.

Massive, just massive.

And of course, the Yankees losing Clark Schmidt is just a gut punch for anyone that had Clark

Schmidt for the Yankees, all that.

Yeah, Yankees finally won today.

They beat the Mets.
