September 10Sep 10 Astros are just a game back of us now. They also own the tiebreaker, so it's more like half a game.
September 10Sep 10 Houston wins. 1 game back of the Sox and they have the tiebreaker. Home wild card series definitely in play.

Sunday at 03:58 AM3 days The elimination # on MLB.com is at 12. Is that because we currently lead the season series against the Guardians?

Sunday at 04:10 AM3 days I think we're up 6-4 v Cleveland. So just 1 win in Cleveland gives us the tiebreaker.We look good on all tiebreakers except v. Houston.
Sunday at 12:13 PM3 days Being conservative I think the Sox go 7-7 the rest of the way and wind up 83-79. All bets are off if the hitting continues to flounder even though they won last night.The Guards go 7-6 and wind up 82-80.Every game and series is important but the Cleveland-Sox series is crucial and the Colorado-Sox series at the end of the season could be very fortunate for us but looking back at 1967, nothing can be taken for granted.The Guards besides playing us have to finish the season with 6 straight on the road at Boston and KC, both series could be really be tough for them, let’s hope so.

Sunday at 02:41 PM3 days Win the next two, the magic number is 8 or 9, depending on what Cleveland does today.
