NWINFan Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 10 hours ago, flavum said: Magic Number-17 To me, the magic number is 11. Sox win 11, that puts them at 90 wins. No way in hell the Indians will win 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with ten teams reaching the playoffs having a top ten player instead of a top 12 or Top 15 can make a big difference. Of course it’s a balance.

Really hard to win without your two best starters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) The ESPN standings have the White Sox playoff odds at 100%. They are crazy. The lead is only 11 and a scant 10 in the loss column with more than 3 weeks left to play, and a 5 game guaranteed to be swept series in Cleveland.. They need new mathematicians.
