Some are probably tracking this and it making them excited or relieved. For me it just makes me nervous for how much worse it will feel if they don't make it lol.

Dominikk85 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Yankees, Rays, astros, As, twins should be a lock, that leaves still 3 spots. I think the Indians will make it too as their pitching can't stay this hot but their offense also cant stay that bad especially if they make an addition but that still leaves two. Honestly who should be those two beating the sox? A lot can happen but the Os still suck despite their record. And the blue Jays just don't have good pitching and now Pearson is hurt, bichette is hurt and vlad still has swing issues that he likely won't figure out. And red sox just have historically bad pitching and royals and tigers are pure tank teams. In the west the Mariners suck too. That leaves angels and rangers as contenders and the sox should be able to beat out at least one of them. I think the sox have a very good chance if they don't lose everyone to injury.

fathom Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Blue Jays have a very easy schedule coming up, so I think they will get to 30 wins. Angels have no prayer IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston will start winning a few more games as will the Mets and Phillies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a big thing we need is Astros to dominate the Rangers. They have ten games left I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 I was speaking to a Twins fan today and looking the rest of the way I see the Sox winning at least 19 more games and that is with forecasting dropping or splitting series with the cubs, Twins, and Indians the rest of the way. Favorable schedule ahead. Taking advantage of it and we finish at 34-26 pretty easily in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're already 7 games ahead of the Angels and 4 games ahead of Texas so if it does come down to those too, we already have built some wiggle room (We are also 1.5 games ahead of Toronto, who is in the second WC spot right now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Blue Jays coming out of the gate hot tonight against TB... Pirates on current pace for 11.5 - 48.5 record. Threatening 1962, 2003 Tigers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_worst_Major_League_Baseball_season_records Both those teams won at around a 25% clip, 40ish games....putting them roughly at 15-45 in 60 games. White Sox 7th in AL Run Differential at +19, Toronto 8th at +1. NL, Dodgers +66 and no other team even over +15.

flavum Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 To be honest, losses don't hurt because of this year's playoff format. Sox will be in, and maybe they're road warriors anyway. AL Central may have 3 teams with 36+ wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 FG is 96.6%, Sox are now 6th best odds. They have actually passed Cleveland, even though the Sox are a half game behind them. Bref is at 93.7%, and 7th best odds overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 25, 2020 Author Share Posted August 25, 2020 And for the record. I got the Sox this winter at 50:1 to win the World Series and 18:1 to go to the WS. If they win, I am going to spring training on the payout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
