The Blue Jays finally stopped the bleeding. Toronto snapped its six-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets, getting a dominant start from Trey Yesavage and just enough offence to escape with the win.

On Game Preview 86 of Flight Deck, hosted by Adam Peddle, he breaks down the much-needed victory, Yesavage’s impressive outing, and Louis Varland picking up another close. We also discuss the bigger picture for the Blue Jays. Toronto is 11-16 over its last 27 games, and if that pace continues, the team could enter the August 3 trade deadline well below .500 and facing difficult decisions.

With pending free agents like Kevin Gausman, Daulton Varsho, George Springer, and Shane Bieber, what direction should the Blue Jays take?

Then we preview today's matchup with Kevin Gausman on the mound as he looks to bounce back from a brutal June where his ERA jumped and his splitter struggled. Can he return to the ace form Toronto needs?

Plus, we discuss Simeon Woods Richardson clearing waivers, his potential role as a future fifth starter, and the latest All-Star voting updates. We finish with Adam's picks presented by bet365.
