Before you know it, the bidding for Bo Bichette’s services will begin.

This is a really big weekend series for the Toronto Blue Jays and Milwaukee Brewers. At the start of Friday’s game at Rogers Centre in Ontario, Canada, you have the visiting Brewers, with the best record in baseball (84–51) and in first place in the National League Central. The Blue Jays, first in the American League East (77–57), are clinging to a three-game lead over the New York Yankees. Entering the final month of the regular season, every game increases in importance, as both these clubs look to gain a higher seed for postseason positioning.
