CBC Sports' daily newsletter offers up three things worth following this weekend for Canadian sports fans.
Canada, ranked 10th in the world, trounced 37th-ranked Jamaica 3-0 when they last met 14 months ago in the semifinals of their regional championship tournament. But the Reggae Girlz performed much better than Canada at this summer's World Cup, shutting out all three of their group opponents to reach the knockout stage for the first time. So, Canada can no longer treat this playoff as a mere formality.
Watch Canada vs. Mexico on Saturday at 1 a.m. ET and Canada vs. the Czech Republic on Sunday at 1 a.m. ET on CBCSports.ca, the CBC Sports app and CBC Gem.Last night's loss to a marvellous Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees snapped the Blue Jays' five-game winning streak and dropped them to just a half-game ahead of idle Texas and Seattle in the American League wild-card race. The three teams are battling for two available spots.
Tampa Bay has already clinched a playoff berth and is now just 1½ games behind Baltimore for the AL East lead. The division winner will get the No. 1 seed in the AL and a first-round playoff bye, while the wild cards will have to get through a best-of-three series to advance.Toronto star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. remains day-to-day with a sore knee. He did not play Wednesday and sat out most of last night's game before coming in to pinch hit with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth.
