Well, in other games, Baltimore and Cleveland both won, Detroit lost (to Baltimore) and the Twins were getting pummeled by the Reds 11-1.

How is it that Cleveland has 13 of their last 16 games at home? Only a 3 game series in St. Louis since starting this series with Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Due to Cleveland weather, they tend to start the season with a significant number of road games.

If the Royals go 6-7 in there last 13 games, then the Red Sox and Tigers would have to go 13-0 in there last 13 and the Mariners who haven't finished tonight's game would need to go 14-0.

A 7-6 record guarantees the Royals a WC spot and if the Twins go 10-4 or worse during their last 14, then the Royals get the 2nd wild card. Right now they are only 2 games back of the 1st WC spot and 3 games back from the AL central.

Catching the Indians will be easier than catching the Orioles because we own the tiebreaker. Plus it's the best outcome.

Looks better and better by the day.

That’s pretty cool. Thanks for posting.

I've shifted my focus from the teams behind us to the teams ahead. I would love to not have to play a 3 game series on the road in the first round.

Regardless of what happens the rest of the way, this has been an amazing bonus season. I never suspected that we would actually be able to get a playoff spot in ‘24. :)

Didn’t think we had it in us.
