July 23, 200817 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 23, 2008 -> 07:48 AM) 56-43 +1.5 games over MIN (thank you, NYY) +5.5 over surging DET +12 over CLE, KC Last 10 games the Twins and Tigers are 5-5 and the Sox are 4-6
July 23, 200817 yr Author I believe the Sox are clinched to have spent the most days in first place in the AL Central for this season, which is 92 so far.

Minnesota needs to win 61% of their remaining games and only have 28 home games remaining. Using Home/Away Win %, here is how the season would play out: Chicago Home 35-16 - 30 * 69% 21-9 Away 22-27 - 32 * 45% 14-18 35-27 Remaining 57-43 Current 92-70 Total Minnesota Home 34-19 - 28 * 64% 18-10 Away 21-27 - 33 * 44% 15-18 33-28 Remaining 55-46 Current 88-74 Total Detroit Home 28-20 - 33 * 58% 19-14 Away 24-29 - 28 * 45% 13-15 32-29 Remaining 52-49 Current 84-78 Total

Minnesota, I think they have the capability of playing about .550 (+5 games or so above .500). Chicago will play .500 for the rest of the year if I had to guess (everything staying equal like it is now, no trades, etc.). So, that would say it's going to be a tight race.
