Odds of 3 way tie with White Sox and O's is probably right up there with Frazier hitting 5 OPPO HRs into the 2nd deck in LF tonight so prob an eliminate that possibility....

We have had our two way tie, why not a three way

3 more outs to cut it to 4.

Perfect night! Everyone who needed to lose lost. Minnesota and Chicago eliminated on the same night. Baltimore is toast and we are back within a reasonable striking distance for Wild Card 1.

O's must go 5-2 to even have a chance. Here are their only chances:

O's 5-2
M's 0-8

O's 6-1
M's 1-7

O's 7-0
M's 2-5

This is AFTER or horrid roadie and faceplant on Tuesday. People should now see why our odds have been 99%+ so long..

Scenarios for the M's to make Wild Card 1....
M's 8-0, Tor 5-1, TB 6-1
M's 7-1, Tor 4-2, TB 5-2
M's 6-2, Tor 3-3, TB 4-3
M's 5-3, Tor 2-4, TB 3-4
M's 4-4, Tor 1-5, TB 2-5
M's 3-5, Tor 0-6, TB 1-6

I feel decent about their chances if they go 6-2. I would also feel a lot better about getting some momentum going into the playoffs if they went 6-2. Make it so!

I read that they went 14-0 at one point this season so sayin there's a chance!

Your last scenario would be beyond hilarious. lol

Love all your stats Cap. I think the double header is a huge banana skin, if that’s not just an English idiom? I see us 5-3 at best

Just bought some playoff tickets with the M's e-mail list pre-sale. If the M's catch the Jays I will be going to the first wildcard game. I also bought tickets for the the first home game of the ALCS if they make it that far.
