September 18Sep 18 I imagine A’s/Guardians series will go exactly as we expect.All the more reason for the Sox to just take care of their own business.
September 18Sep 18 Rangers lose. Back to 2 games up on the 2nd wild card team with a tiebreaker. That's big for our overall postseason hopes.

September 18Sep 18 looks like Gavin Williams going Fri on short rest against A's at home after getting six full days off before Monday's White Sox game

Do they really need to throw their best pitcher against the A's to win?
September 18Sep 18 Jesus, that Rangers loss was HUGE. Vaulted us up 13% points to almost 80% again from 2/3 odds. Edited September 18Sep 18 by chitownsportsfan

Vaulted us up 13% points to almost 80% again from 2/3 odds.Yup, it basically forces the 3 teams chasing us in the wild card race to be near perfect down the stretch. We're effectively 3 games up with 9 to play on Toronto and Texas.What's sad is that we'd be in the same spot for the division had we just closed out the game on Tuesday.

September 18Sep 18 Texas has seemingly hovered around in that -6 to E space all yearvery similar to Sox no long streaks either way

September 18Sep 18 Author Tonight, Cleveland is facing the pitcher who gave up the triple to Peters to secure the cycle. He’s got a solid 7.08 ERA, and the A’s have lost the last 10 games he has appeared in. He wasn’t starting until his last four outings. None of those four went well for him.

September 18Sep 18 Cleveland weather forecast is clear with little chance of double headers and other s%*# that could screw things up.
