Obviously, we’re at the top, so we’d play the 8th seed. But is the eight seed the worst third place qualifier (currently the Yanks) or the worst overall record (the second place but .500 Astros)?
September 13, 20205 yr Twins sweep the Indians. Looking good for the Sox to stay away from the 7-seed.
September 13, 20205 yr For all intents and purposes this twins series is basically a playoff series, you need at least a split. No more of this fucking 1-3 bullshit, I'm so fucking tired of losing to the twins and watching Cruz tee off on our pitchers like they were plucked from the HS team down the street

I'm glad you are, I'm flat out nervous because of this self hex the fans and maybe even the players put on themselves against the Twins. I'm just hoping for a 2/2 Split. Still up 2 in the loss column with 4 less games to go.

Going into the series I was hoping Cleveland took 2 of 3, but at least that should nearly guarantee a top 6 seed.

Astros will be gifted the 6-seed probably.

Meaningful baseball in September is terrific stuff.

I'm ok with the top 3 being division winners, I'm even ok guaranteeing at least 2 in each division make it. But seeds 4-8 should be based on record in my opinion.

Not great velocity sitting 92-93 (touched 95 I think a couple times) but after the 1st inning he was able to find the zone more often than not and had good command and a decent breaking ball. Change is a huge work in progress I thought. Give credit to him he really struggled with stuff and control in the 1st then buckled down, found his breaking ball and was able to shut down a bad but not horrible detroit lineup.

Of course this virus has made it a spring instead of a marathon season. Crazy how we wouldn't even be a 1/3 done in a normal season, but we're over 3/4 through this shortened season. It's been great fun this season. Can't wait for the rest of this year, and the future with this team.

Cease, Dunning, Giolito, and maybe Keuchel?
