Thursday at 07:42 PM2 days Astros are just a game back of us now. They also own the tiebreaker, so it's more like half a game.
Thursday at 07:44 PM2 days Houston wins. 1 game back of the Sox and they have the tiebreaker. Home wild card series definitely in play.

11 hours ago11 hr The elimination # on MLB.com is at 12. Is that because we currently lead the season series against the Guardians?

11 hours ago11 hr 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.
3 hours ago3 hr 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 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.
