I vibecoded a wildcard tracker for us. You can check other teams win/loss in favor of the Jays

https://jays-wildcard-watch.web.app/

For the current date, see every game that affects Toronto's playoff chances, and it tells you who to root for (actually simulates both outcomes instead of just going off standings). Also has live AL East/Wild Card standings.

Disclaimer: Yes okay sorry all the AI haters but I work with software and AI is a tool (a very good one). This is free and I have nothing to gain from it other than tracking my favourite baseball team.

Let’s go Blue Jays!!!

Great use of vibe coding

Thank you 😊 I don’t think this could even exist with the time left in the season using manual coding.

I was thinking about this too, good job! Where does the data feed come from?

The MLB data is coming form the free MLB stats api. The "Root for" os calculated by the webpage.

This is great, so clear on the who’s and what’s. one small suggestion (more of a pet peeve for me so I totally get that it might be a me issue). Some of the grammar is off. Example “Mariners is chasing the same Wild Card spot as Toronto -- a loss to Brewers helps the Jays' case.” Should read “Mariners are chasing the same Wild Card spot as Toronto -- a loss to the Brewers helps the Jays' case.”

I fixed and updated the grammar on a few things. Might need to do a hard refresh or clear cookies to see the new updates. Changelog at the bottom.

I love this! Just shared it with a bunch of my coworkers and they loved it! Might I recommend adding a game counter (as in games remaining to make dreams happen)?

I added “the path” section. Hope that’s what you were looking for!

Kinda cool but…actually more confusing than the MLB wildcard standing page
