Ranking the 10 best Blue Jays teams by regular season record

6. 2022: 92-70 (.568)

After missing the playoffs by a single game in 2021, the 2022 Blue Jays made sure they got in. Their 92-70 record was good enough to secure second place in the AL East, seven games behind the New York Yankees, and the top Wild Card.

With a formidable lineup that included the likes of Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette, Teoscar Hernández, George Springer and Matt Chapman, the Blue Jays scored the fourth-most runs (775) in the majors and had the highest OPS+ (117) as a team.

They actually led the division for 18 days at the beginning of the season and then ran a deficit of 16.5 games leading up to the All-Star break. Like in 2021, they put together a solid second half, going 42-27. Their 22-11 record from Sept. 1 on was largely propelled by Bichette's epic end-of-season run. The shortstop was unstoppable, hitting .400 with a 1.105 OPS, 54 hits and 27 RBI in 32 games through September and October.

After returning to the playoffs for the first time since 2016, the 2022 playoff Blue Jays eventually lost the Wild Card Series to the Seattle Mariners in quite possibly the scariest and most heartbreaking way you could imagine.

5. 2015: 93-69 (.574), 1st AL East

The 2015 Blue Jays reignited Toronto's love affair with the team and ended the franchise's 21-year postseason drought. Similar to the 2016 group, the 93-69 Jays team was filled with veterans, finishing first in the AL East, six games ahead of the Yankees.

Propelled by third baseman Josh Donaldson's MVP campaign, the Blue Jays' explosive bats and potent offense led the majors in runs scored with 891 — 127 more than the second-place Yankees. They also led MLB with 232 home runs, with Donaldson's 41, Bautista's 40 and Encarnación's 39 leading the way. A veteran starting rotation led by R.A Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Marco Estrada was fortified with the addition of David Price at the trade deadline.

In the ALDS, the Blue Jays made a wild comeback against the Texas Rangers after going down 2-0. They reeled off three straight wins, capped by the craziest playoff game and the wildest inning of playoff baseball most of us will see. Cue the Bautista bat flip:
