Not a fan of that stat because that includes just getting to the wild card game, which to me, isn't making the playoffs. The Sox are 72.3% to win the division. http://www.coolstandings.com/baseball_stan...sn=2012&i=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBetsy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 29, 2012 -> 09:35 PM) Tigers lose! Sox a season high 3 games up. They were up 3.5 games in July briefly but it's all good. Just keep winning, that's all. (But I seriously would not have guessed that the Sox could lose the first two against the Orioles and still have gained a half a game by Wednesday night. The Sox have gained 1/2 as much going 1-2 this week as they did going 6-0 last week). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Starting tomorrow, here are the next 4 series for the Central/Wild card contenders. Pretty exciting stuff coming... A's- vs Bos, vs LAA, at Sea, at LAA Sox- at Det, vs Min, vs KC, vs Det Orioles- at NY, at Tor, vs NY, vs TB Rays- at Tor, vs NY, vs Tex, at Bal Tigers- vs Chi, vs Cle, at LAA, at Chi Angels- at Sea, at Oak, vs Det, vs Oak If the Angels are going to get back in it, they have to beat Oakland. The Orioles are going to be tested. The Rays could go either way. And the Sox and Tigers will probably tread water the rest of the season, and the team that's breathing at the end, will win the division.
