Updated post 1.

Big series for the White Sox this weekend. Take 2/3 and you clinch the tiebreaker against the Rays. Take 1/3 and the tiebreaker falls to division records - the Rays currently have an advantage there, but the Rays will have more games to play against their division rivals upcoming. Get swept and the Rays clinch that tiebreaker, and move 7 games ahead in the standings on top of it. Sweep the Rays and the White Sox are 1 game out of the #1 seed with the tiebreaker in hand.

I just want to say I want the Yankees to miss the playoffs. Not because of them beating the Sox but to see that fanbase cry and cry in October

You are gonna have to settle for the other bitches missing the playoffs, the Red Sox

I count losing the play-in game as “missing the playoffs” too, so I’m still holding out hope for the Yankees suffering that fate.

8/29:

Cleveland lost last night, so the Sox lead over Cleveland holds at 10 games, 12.5 over Detroit, with a magic number of 24.

Tampa Bay has a 5 game lead over New York and 7 over Boston.

Houston now has a 6.5 game lead over Oakland and 8.5 over Seattle.

Yankees now lead the Wild Card race by 2 games over Boston. Oakland is 3.5 games out of the 2nd WC spot, Seattle 5.5 out.

Tampa leads the playoff seeding race by 4 over Houston and 7 over the Sox. The #1 seed is pretty much out of reach now, so it's just a matter of trying to get past Houston to get home field in the ALDS.

 

In the NL, San Francisco's division lead over the Dodgers is at 2.5 games, and Cincinnati has a 2 game lead over San Diego for the 2nd WC spot.

Based on lineup construction, I’d say it’s more hoping than trying.

But whatever. Rest is good. Stay healthy.
