Wild Card
I wanted to give everyone a clearer look at what’s going on with this wild card race
because it’s a tight one.
Oakland, San Francisco, and Kansas City have punched their tickets already. Rangers have clinched division 3 and blue jays have clinched division 4. Dodgers and Boston are leading division 1 & 2 but those division are still in question. So 7 teams are in Oak, SFG, KCR, TEX, TOR, BOS, LAD. That leaves one spot remaining with many teams fighting for the final spot.
I tried to come up with some scenarios for every team but there is just to many teams involved and to much going on. If I had more time to sit down and work it out I would.
So it MIGHT be possible that ATL, PIT, BAL, MIA, NYY all have a chance to sneak into the playoffs.
ATL controls there own destinity if they win they will advance.
If ATL loses and PIT wins then PIT advances.
If both PIT and ATL lose that could potentially bring BAL, MIA, and NYY into play. This should be an exciting week to follow! Good luck to everyone!
