AL Wildcards still up for grabs.

Yankees have the Rays, Red Sox play the Nationals, Blue Jays get the Orioles, and the Mariners finish up with the Angels.

Hope for chaos.

From a White Sox standpoint, I'm fine with anybody but the Jays.

Ok we need the Yankees and Red Sox to lose tomorrow, and the Blue Jays to win.

Hell, have the Mariners win today and tomorrow too to have a 4 way tie.

After the Angels take the lead in the top of the 8th, Steve Cishek promptly gives the lead back to Seattle... If Seattle can hold on, the fantastic four team scenario is still in play.

ETA - they do.

I love how all the games start at the same time today.

Hoping for chaos.

It looks like the most chaos would be either yankees or red sox take 1st spot, and the other 3 tie for second. That adds a day of wild card games and makes a team choose between trying to win 2 at home, or 1 on the road, just to reach the actual wild card game

The chaos is how they choose who plays who on a 4 way tie.

I think the 3 way tie for 2nd spot is just a great "would you rather".

2 potential home games, with your fans, and ticket sales, concessions, parking, etc.
OR
only need 1 win, but it's on the road, and you'll irritate all your fans that wanted to buy tickets, concessions, etc.

I don't know the numbers, but I would guess the analytics people say it's easier to win 1 road game than 2 home?

Never imagined Salvador Perez would lead the majors in HR and RBI.

The Padres finish at 79-83. A train wreck of legendary proportions.

Absolutely easier for most teams. But Seattle might have wanted the two home games just because of the cross country travel.

Yankees pull it out after being two hit through 8 by a Rays team who just wanted to make them suffer. Rizzo with a key hit.

Looks like the Mariners are going to fall just short. Amazing that they are 90-71 with a -47 run differential.
