Wild Card

#1 O's -
#2 A's...1 Back of O's

#3 HALOS 2.5 back of A's
#4 RAYS 3.5 back of A's
#5 TIGERS 6 back of A's

Look its this simple the O's and A's are in a good position knowing they can still win the Division but the AL Wild Card still is an Option and they are secure in both.

The Rangers are trying to secure the AL West Title and they just have to split with the A's. The Yankees have to win out and hope the O's lose a Game or Two to win the AL East or the Yankees will be the Wild Card if the O's win the AL East.

The White Sox and Tigers its AL Central Crown or Bust. Neither have a Shot at the Wild Card so the battle is for the Division Title. The Good Thing is who ever wins the Division doesn't have to play in the 1-Game Playoff.

The Halos and Rays have only the Wild Card to get to and they have work to do with only 10 Games or less to play.

AL Pennant Chase is on Tap all week long and we have a Photo Finish....
