Just to correct your math, if the Twins do go 12-7, which is really good couple weeks but certainly possible, the Royals have to finish 2-17 to lose the division outright. If we manage to win only 5 games like you suggest, the Twins have to finish 15-4. |

Go to the east on I-70, same thing is happening over there right now. Pretty much identically what the Royals are doing.

Unreal every team we face is on and just crushing our pitching. Even we win the division it plants the doubt in the back your mind that maybe your not as good as you thought.

What's sad is we are losing to teams with losing records. Pitching is utter shit.

Prince Fielder just hit a homer to put the Rangers ahead of the Astros in the 8th inning. They could be 0.5 games back.
Literally no one is talking about Texas but they are a bigger threat than people think. They have tons of playoff experience and Hamels/Holland at the front of their rotation. They can do more damage than people probably expect. |

We should all be rooting for Texas to win the division in the event we lose home field.

Why would you even look at their yearly stats? They've had Hamels for 7 starts and Holland for 6. It's like they got two aces at the deadline. They are 26-15 since August 1st. They are +16 in that span. I still argue their top three of Hamels/Holland/Gallardo is good as any pitching staff in the American League at this point. Fielder, Beltre, Hamilton, Choo can all hit, they steal bases. They probably aren't the best team on paper but they've got weapons. If we end up playing them in the 1st round I would not be the least bit surprised. |

We literally don't know for sure who our #1 in the playoffs is. Toronto doesn't know who their #2 is. The Rangers have Hamels, Holland, and can follow that up with Gallardo, who can pitch at almost an ace level. He's one of two pitchers to hold Toronto to 1 run or less in the last month. Tanaka from the Yankees has done it twice. They can hit homers, steal bases, and their bullpen isn't great but they've got 3-4 guys at the back end pitching pretty well. I know the playoffs are a crapshoot anyway but they are in good shape. |
