The Baltimore Orioles got word early on Saturday as the Yankees lost their Afternoon Game and the O's capitalized beating the Carmines 4-3 to put themselves in a Tie for the AL East with 4 to Play. It's this simple who ever loses the AL East will have to play this Week in the 1 Game Playoff to move onto the Divisional Round. They will most likely get an Oakland Athletics Group that is Young and playing with House Money...How 'bout that #BigLeagueChew.

The Pale Hose could've stayed within a Game of the Tigers but lose to the Rays who are chasing the AL Wild Card but at this point both teams need major help. The Sox are now down 2 Games with 4 to play and the Tigers look like they will not be slowing down as they also have 4 to play.

The Rays are 3 Back of the Athletics and a 1/2 back of the Halos and now they will rely on others as their push is too late. The Halos are 2.5 Back of the A's and they have the Rangers Tonight and by beating the Rangers they are helping the A's move within striking distance of the AL West Crown as the Rangers know it is getting too close for comfort.

With all this going on the Ranger lead the AL with the Best Record and whoever ends the Season with the Best Record will have Home Field Advantage throughout the AL Fall Classic Tourney 2012.
