Next 4 series:

 

LAA 55-49, 3 vs Cle, 3 vs Bal, 3 at Sox, 4 at KC

Min 54-50, 4 at Tor, 3 at Cle, 3 vs Tex, 3 vs Cle

Bal 53-51, 3 at Oak, 3 at LAA, 3 at Sea, 4 vs Oak

Tor 54-52, 4 vs Min, 3 at NY, 3 vs Oak, 3 vs NY

TB 52-54, 3 at Sox, 3 vs NYM, 2 vs Atl, 3 at Tex

Tex 51-53, 3 vs Hou, 3 at Sea, 3 at Min, 3 vs TB

Det 51-54, 3 vs KC, 3 vs Bos, 3 at KC, 3 at Hou

Sox 50-53, 3 vs TB, 3 at KC, 3 vs LAA, 3 vs Cubs

 

A 9-3 run wouldn't hurt right about now.

 

Sox need to win games, Twins to fall apart, and the Orioles to have a bad west coast trip the next two weeks.

 

I have to admit when I looked at this and saw the Angels record, i was very surprised. I thought they would be much more than 6 games over .500

1-9 the last ten will do that.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 11:30 AM)
How games do they have to win to get in... 37?

 

35-24.

 

For now, I think everyone is chasing 85.

Twins- Jays, 1-1, in the 4th

 

Price trying to pitch out of bases loaded, no out.

Really hope those two beat up on each other. I guess Jays taking 2 out of 3 is the best outcome?

4 games. A split is fine.

Another Donaldson HR. Is he the favorite for MVP in the AL? Tex, Trout, Cain, have to be up there as well

Thanks, I should have done a little research and saw it was a 4 game series

I'd still put my money on Trout, especially with the Angels currenlty in the WC spot and the Blue Jays out of it...but close enough I could see it change.

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 07:13 AM)
Blue Jays are the second wildcard, on pace for 84 wins.

 

I think they'll easily host the wildcard game, if not catch the Yankees.

That's a totally different team since the Tulo acquisition, though. Then Price, their confidence just went right through the roof.

 

They'll easily get to 87-88 maybe 89 wins imo.

Agreed. I think they'll dominate the final 54. 32-22, at minimum. But 34-20 wouldn't surprise me.

Blue Jays could tie Angels with a win tonight if CLE holds on...Hector Santiago just got torched by old friend Ryan Raburn, 3-1 lead late.

 

Same exact record as Detroit for Sox.

I will update this before our next game on Friday

Angels had the rally monkey in their favor today...Toronto absolutely obliterating Minnesota.

 

Baltimore also won again.

Sox did not win games.

Twins are irrelevant.

Orioles 3-3 on the west coast.

 

Past week:

Blue Jays 7-0

Angels 4-2

Orioles 3-3

Rays 4-2

Rangers 4-2

Twins 1-6

Tigers 3-3

White Sox 1-5

 

I really can't see the five current postseason teams falling out of it. Maybe if the Yankees just bomb, and the Orioles get on a run the last five weeks of the season.

Notice how the team that made two big moves has been on fire.

 

Yet we stood pat.

That team also gave up a big part of their future for a push that will end in disappointment.

 

Sorry you aren't winning in the playoffs with MB as your #2. As much as I love him.

They haven't made the playoffs in 20+ years. This season won't be a disappointment, sometimes it's worth it to pay extra just for a playoff berth. Plus, Tulowitzki is still gonna be around

It was probably never relevant. They just got hot at the right time of the season to give management hope that keeping things together would pay off.

Never was relevant Sox never got to .500 moot point.

That's always how I judge it as well. They never got there and are probably a 75 win team.

If nothing else, it made baseball fun to watch again for about 10 days.
