QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 03:49 PM) You're already giving the Astros the series over Boston? I'm not. Just a preference, not a prediction. Honestly, in either league, seeds 1-4 are worthy. If the LCSs have Red Sox, Yankees, and Cubs, I'm out.

Sox 60-90 Det 62-90 Go Astros.

Twins suck in NY no matter the roster. Can we just skip to Astros-Indians and Nationals-Dodgers and send everyone else home?

1-0, A's after 5 Tigers are something.

A's - Tigers - 12:10 Rockies- Giants - 2:45 Rockies only have a game lead on the Brewers.

Fangraphs thinks the Sox get the 1st pick. Sox 64-98 SF 64-98 Phi 65-97 Det 67-95 I don't agree, but it's interesting.

Tuesday: Won- Giants, Phillies, Padres, A's Lost- White Sox, Tigers, Mets, Reds, Pirates, Braves 12 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(10) - 13 (-2.0 GB) 2. Phillies(11) - 13 (-1.5 GB) 3. White Sox(12) 4. Tigers(11) - 10 (+2.5 GA) 5. Mets(11) - 7 6. Reds(11) - 7 7. Pirates(10) - 4 8. Braves(13) - 6 9. Padres(11) - 5 10. A's(11) - 5

Nice test for Giolito. That lineup is no joke.

Monday: Won- Phillies, Padres, A's Lost- Tigers, Mets, Pirates 13 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(11) - 15 (-3.0 GB) 2. Phillies(12) - 15 (-2.5 GB) 3. White Sox(13) 4. Tigers(12) - 11 (+2.5 GA) 5. Mets(12) - 8 6. Reds(12) - 8 7. Padres(12) - 7 8. A's(12) - 7 9. Pirates(11) - 5 10. Braves(14) - 7

Phillies beat Kershaw.

Altherr grand slam off Kershaw. 4-2 Phils, 6th.

I'm going to trust the Tigers to go 4-9. If the Sox go 6-7, they'll hang on to the 3rd pick. Big split in Detroit this past weekend. Needed that.

Sox 3-10 SF 5-6 Phi 6-7 First pick, baby! (Probably not happening)

Looks like the Reds quietly claimed him off waivers this weekend. The Sox also outrighted the catcher, Gonzalez to AA. 40-man at 38.

Twins with a 2 game lead on the Angels with 13 left. Twins-- 3 at NY 4 at Det off 3 at Cle 3 vs Det Angels-- off 3 vs Cle 3 at Hou 4 at Sox 3 vs Sea If they tie, the game is in Minnesota.

Sunday: Won- Giants, Tigers, Mets, Reds, A's, Padres Lost- Phillies, White Sox, Braves, Pirates 14 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(11) - 15 (-3.0 GB) 2. Phillies(13) - 16 (-3.0 GB) 3. White Sox(13) 4. Tigers(13) - 11 (+3.0 GA) 5. Mets(13) - 8 6. Reds(12) - 8 7. Padres(13) - 8 8. A's(13) - 8 9. Braves(14) - 7 10. Pirates(12) - 5

After 2-0, he shouldn't have given him anything to hit.

Twins lose, Angels win 1 game lead for the Twins with 14 left.

Saturday: Won- Phillies, White Sox, Reds, Mets Lost- Giants, Tigers, A's, Padres, Braves, Pirates 15 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(12) - 17 (-4.0 GB) 2. Phillies(14) - 17 (-3.0 GB) 3. White Sox(14) 4. Tigers(14) - 13 (+2.0 GA) 5. Mets(14) - 10 6. Reds(13) - 10 7. Padres(14) - 10 8. A's(14) - 10 9. Braves(15) - 8 10. Pirates(13) - 6

Better than the alternative, but always be aware of September baseball. It's not always what it seems.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 16, 2017 -> 03:44 PM) I foresee at least 5 losses for LAA and at least 5 wins for MIN, which would mean the Angels would have to go 9-1 and the Twins would have to go 1-9 for LAA to catch them. That thing's over. You think the Twins are going to NY and sweeping them? Bold. I could see the Twins going 7-8 and the Angels going 9-6 for the tie at 84-78, but the Twins should win this 75% of the time.

Mariners are on their way to a loss and under .500. Twins with a 2 game lead on the Angels with 15 left. Twins-- 2 vs Tor 3 at NY 4 at Det 3 at Cle 3 vs Det Angels-- 2 vs Tex 3 vs Cle 3 at Hou 4 at Sox 3 vs Sea If they tie, the game is in Minnesota.

Friday: Won- Tigers, Reds, A's, Braves Lost- Giants, Phillies, White Sox, Mets, Padres, Pirates 16 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants(13) - 17 (-3.0 GB) 2. Phillies(15) - 18 (-3.0 GB) 3. White Sox(15) 4. Tigers(15) - 13 (+3.0 GA) 5. Mets(15) - 11 6. Reds(14) - 11 7. Padres(15) - 10 8. A's(15) - 10 9. Braves(16) - 8 10. Pirates(14) - 6

A's beat the Phillies. Reds won. Good day to firm up 3rd.

Terry Francona is just the best.
