Remaining August Win Total - 17 Wins (20 Wins in August - .645 win clip)
September
@ Toronto - Win finale of the series
Home vs Mariners - Win 3 of 4 Games
Home vs Tigers - Win 2 of 3 Games

34-20 in the final 54 gets us 90 wins. Like I said, that is doable, but we are going to have to really stay sharp with our pitching and D to have a shot.
