Look at Ray Ray Run Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 2 hours ago, YourWhatHurts said: I meant last playoff team. I didn't know about some weird and totally illogical arrangement created by the rules. Still you said in your post that you don't think a sub-.500 team makes the playoffs, which is incorrect, because HOU is currently the last playoff team if the season ended today and they are below .500. It is pretty likely for 1 in the AL and up to 3 in the NL. I'd be willing to wager the Astros finish above .500 but it's all a moot point.

You guys are correct. I forgot about the guaranteed playoff spot for the #2 in the division regardless of record part and had been thinking it was a division winner and the next 5 best records. Now that I think about it, celebrate, who cares. It looks like the playoffs will be in a bubble anyway. Wherever the Yankees are, I would rather win or lose the divison, whatever it took, so that we played a different team in the first round. We will be playing in Dodger Stadium or something anyway so home field doesn't matter at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcq Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I would not be celebrating the playoffs with a losing record. I would consider banning them. Bogus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourWhatHurts Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I hope there is some way the Indians line up against the Yankees and the Rays line up against the Twins. I think those are the 4 best teams aside from ours, so hopefully they can eliminate each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a money grab for the postseason, and it is what it is (sorry to use that phrase). It would have been much more exciting to have the Central winner really care about winning the division, while the other two face each other to get in, but it’s only one year of this shit hopefully.

flavum Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) Magic numbers to stay ahead of: Sea 7 (Six if four are division games) doubleheader vs Oak on Monday Bal 7 (Six if three are division games)Yankees tomorrow, then interleague series Det 6 Edited September 13, 2020 by flavum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Sox magic number to stay ahead of the Indians is 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Current postseason matchups: Cle at Sox; Tor at Min NY at TB; Hou at Oak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Mariners win, so the magic number is 6, but only 5 if 3 of the 5 are division games. If the A’s beat them twice tomorrow and the Sox split with the Twins, good chance clinch day is Wednesday or Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Mariners won game 1 against the A’s. Pushes back clinch day, but good for the 1-seed chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 It would be incredible to clinch a playoff spot with Minnesota in Chicago to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
