  • American League Wild Card Madness

    Rays are losing 7-1. A potential Indians loss means the AL Wild Card could go into Sunday with three teams tied.

    From MLB:

    If the three Clubs are tied after Sunday's games, then the tie will be broken using the following system. Since the three Clubs each won one season series and lost one season series against each other in head-to-head competition in the regular season, MLB will use a system of designations – as Club A, Club B or Club C – based on their combined winning percentages in head-to-head competition against one another in the regular season.

    Club A would host Club B on Monday, with the winner earning a Wild Card. The loser of Monday's game would then play at Club C on Tuesday, with Tuesday's winner earning the other Wild Card. Home-field advantage in Wednesday's A.L. Wild Card Game would be determined by the head-to-head record between the two Clubs that earned the Wild Card berths.

    The relevant winning percentages are:

    Head-to-Head Season Series Records:

    Combined Records:

    TB won season series against CLE, 4-2;

    CLE: 7-5 (.583)

    TEX won season series against TB, 4-3;

    TB: 7-6 (.538)

    CLE won season series against TEX, 5-1.

    TEX: 5-8 (.385)

    Because the Indians posted the highest winning percentage, they had the first choice of designation. The Indians opted to be Club A. With the second-best record among the three Clubs, the Rays opted to be Club B. The Rangers received the remaining designation as Club C.

      I would love to see the Rays miss the playoffs just to see their post-game show tomorrow. Orestes Destrade and the other guy have been talking shit all year about how great the team is. Destrade is the worst.

        Cleveland and Pittsburgh have never made the post-season in the same year. In 113 seasons.

            Angels and Rangers tied at 2 in the 6th.
            --------------------
            Rangers got the lead back 3-2, Beltre pulled up a little rough and may have strained something.

              Looks like we are looking at a one game playoff tomorrow to get into the one game playoff.

                Beltre goes yard because he's a hockey player. 5-2 Rangers.

                  The idea that this can even happen still boggles my mind.
