August 25th Game Preview-Toronto Blue Jays @ Houston Astros

With a loss today and a Brewers win, the Blue Jays could move down to 5th worst record in Major League Baseball, which would(if the season ended today) land them the 5th pick in next year's draft. Being swept by the Astros is embarrassing, but 2 protected picks is amazing, so please Blue Jays, keep on playing horribly and lose out the remaining games on the schedule. Thanks.
