Dodgers and Giants tied with 28 games left. They play three this weekend in SF. Season series is 8-8…not that it counts toward who wins the division and the other hosts the wildcard. But the winner this weekend would host 163 if necessary.
The Sox would have to beat the Astros by 1 game to get it though, since they won the season series 5-2, correct? So remaining games, Sox have to be 1.5 games better.
Postseason schedule was announced last week. AL goes first…Wildcard game on Tuesday. Division series starts Thursday, October 7. If the Sox end up in Houston, the two home games are Sunday and Monday, 10/10 and 10/11.
