Many things have gone well for Toronto in 2025, but the record at home (50-25) is one of the biggest successes of the entire campaign.

If you ask me what the two biggest keys to a successful baseball season are, it's pretty simple:

Win at home, and beat who you are supposed to beat.

If you can do those things, you are on the way to a positive season. Doing those two things negates a lot of the need to do "special" things, like beating top teams on the road over and over again.

The Toronto Blue Jays have excelled in the first area, and it's one of the main reasons why they enter play on Monday at 87-62 and with real designs on earning home field advantage throughout the American League playoffs. 

Toronto is now 50-25 at home this season, which is their best performance through 75 home games since 1987. It's the second-best performance at home through 75 games in team history.

A lot of things have contributed to Toronto's ability to win this season. Bounce back seasons from Bo Bichette and George Springer certainly have helped, and the contract extension for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. earlier this season helped calm down the outside noise around the organization, and contributions from young players like Addison Barger have helped cover for the longstanding injury to Anthony Santander.

A step-back season from the Baltimore Orioles has given the Jays a better foothold in the division and the team has also been opportunistic in taking advantage of struggles at various points from the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees.

It's all added up to a great season for Toronto, and one that likely means the Jays will have that homefield throughout the American League playoffs. They are 2.5 games up on the Detroit Tigers for that quest.

Toronto hasn't won the World Series in 1993. They'll have six more games at home this year. Three of them are with the Boston Red Sox and three are with the Tampa Bay Rays.
