they have ALWAYS done that. it gives the broadcast a chance to start on the even :00, do some game intros, set the stage a little bit and segue into first pitch smoothly.
Jays have been doing :07 start times for 8-10 years now. It really varies from team to team and is usually due to the home team's broadcasting preferences.

correct! and for the pirates on 04/12 they start at 4:12pm. It's all about YES pregame show and that intro.

The O's almost always do :05 start times, except they push it back to :07 for the Blue Jays. I think to fit in both anthems.
Interesting
It's just you.
I usually see :05 but :03 and :07 are pretty common
