White Sox 70.5%

Tigers 46.8%

 

Jumped back up just with that one game...White Sox with easiest schedule remaining, 4 games at home

I don't know if that has been mentioned but if we finish the season tied with the Tiggs and the Wildcard teams have more wins then us (which they do right now) then we have a one game tiebreaker in Detroit. They have already won the head to head series since they are up 10-4 with 4 games left. Better hold onto this division lead and grow it!

Sox vs. Royals, and Tigers at Angels.

Strange how the Sox have missed Hochevar the entire season except for (iirc) the first series of the season

If the Sox go up 3 tomorrow and then immediately piss it away, so help me....

 

These next 5 days are going to be interesting to say the least.

 

I'm not thrilled with the play of the Sox the last couple weeks, but the division is the division. Just gotta hope for the best the next few weeks.

I really hope we get the good 'intense' crowd for the Tigers series, I want to to be a little more than watching baseball eating nachos.

Magic number is the combination of games the Sox have to win, plus the number of games the Tigers have to lose for the Sox to win the division, right?

Sox trailing the Rangers (99%) and then barely behind the Yankees (75.9%), at 3rd best chance of making the playoffs in the AL.

I hate the fact that those playoff percentages don't givet he Orioles a chance. I don't care about their run differential anymore, they have been doing it for 130+ games, who is to say they can't do it for 25 more.

Yup

72.5% SOX

30.5% Tigers

 

That will change by 20% though, if we lose the next two games in a row...as DET probably does have the schedule advantage down the stretch, as we have to face the red hot A's and don't play the Royals well (5-10).
