MLB Postseason
Some interesting stuff going on in the AL, I'll tell you what.
If the season ended today, the Red Sox would win the East, The White Sox would take the Central, and The Angels get the West, with The Indians getting the Wild Card nod.
But the season didn't end today.
So check this out...
Unless there is a total collapse by the White Sox, which could happen, they are 3-7 in their last 10 games, they win the Central. Or, they could lose the lead to the Indians, they are on a 9-1 run in their last 10. Either way, the Indians are 3.5 games behind, but .5 games ahead in the Wild Card standings.
Out of the West, the only team going to the post season will be the Division Champ. The Angels are currently 2 games up on the A's. The A's are not playing all that great, so if they don't make a big run real quick, they'll be sitting home watching the playoffs. I hope they have some comfy couches.
The East is a very different animal.
You have the Red Sox 5-5 in their last 10 games, and a 1.5 game lead on the Yanks.
The Yanks are on a 8-2 run over the last 10, and finally putting together some important wins over teams that have given them problems in the past.
Just like the West, there is a good chance that to make the postseason out of the East, a Division Championship will probably be necessary.
The Sox just grabbed 2 really important wins from the A's, and the Yanks are on a 6 game win streak.
OK, I know, I'm here to make predictions, so what is going to happen?
Indians pass The White Sox, and steal the Central, Angels win the West, and The White Sox eek into the Wild Card. In the East, The Yanks take over first place this week. Before the end of the season, they have Baltimore twice, and the Blue Jays, they will have 1st place before that is over. Then they play 3 games against the Red Sox to close the regular season.
It goes like this...
White Sox (wild card) against the Yanks
Cleveland against the Angels
Yanks win, Angels win and meet in the ALCS.
Next I'll make sense of that National League for you.
