Blue Jays win/Red Sox lose tonight would set up a 3-way tie for them and the Mariners going into the weekend. Go O’s.

2-seed magic number on each other: Hou- 2 Sox- 6 WC- Yankees +1, Red Sox —, Mariners 0.5, Blue Jays 1

WC- Yankees +2, Red Sox —, Mariners 0.5, Blue Jays 1

Rays 1-seed magic number on Astros remains 1 Astros 2-seed magic number on Sox is 2 Astros clinch West if the A’s beat the Mariners tonight. At least those assholes have to wait around.

I see Eloy has added a red belt to his 34 pieces of flair.

Lopez is proof positive nobody knows jack shit about baseball all the time.

Red Sox three outs away from losing in Baltimore. That would be huge. Go Mariners and Blue Jays.

The 2-seed would be great, but chances are the Astros will win 2 and the Sox will lose 1 before Saturday’s games are over. If we have a shot Sunday morning, then get excited.

…and why they shouldn’t expand the playoffs. These games matter, and if they went to 8 in each league permanently, they’d be ignored.

It would be kind of funny if the Cardinals finally lose tonight, but clinch by the Braves beating the Phillies and the White Sox beating the Reds. Sox game will probably end last.

Minoso led the AL in HBP nine times. Niiine times.

A tweet from the Sox after the game announcing Wright’s unconditional release would make me laugh.

Miggy might get 3000 vs the Sox early next year. Oh wait, the strike.

If it comes to that, good for baseball, but I want the Dodgers gone as soon as possible. Hopefully the Cardinals knock them off next Wednesday.

No, if it’s a division tie, they’ll play next Monday in SF.

He’ll make it. What happens if the Sox win game 1, and the game 2 starter gets lit up the first couple innings? You punt by keeping the rest of the staff fresh, and Keuchel goes 4-5 innings no matter what.

Orioles and Diamondbacks both 50-106. Is there no brainer 1-1 next year? ?

I’m expecting Lynn, Giolito, Rodon/Kopech, Cease, Lynn and Giolito in game 5 if needed. Offense needs to score some runs and not make this order a real issue.

Aka last Wednesday

4-way tie scenario: Yankees (1-2 at Tor, 1-2 vs TB) Red Sox (2-1 at Bal, 1-2 at Was) Blue Jays (2-1 vs NY, 2-1 vs Bal) Mariners (2-1 vs Oak, 3-0 vs LAA)

Rays 1-seed magic number over Astros is 1 Astros 2-seed magic number over Sox is 3 Red Sox/Yankees loser tonight is the 2nd WC, Blue Jays 1 back, Mariners 2 back, A’s 3 back

Braves magic number 5 going into the home series vs Phillies.

Giants 2 game lead with 6 left. Both teams home the final week.

Astros may be losing 4 in a row today. Something the Sox haven’t done since June. As much as they’ve had frustrating games, the Sox didn’t let it get out of hand in the second half.

Giolito got pretty bad run support this year.
