I believe the Sox are clinched to have spent the most days in first place in the AL Central for this season, which is 92 so far.

 

That doesn't really do a lot for me...unless one of those days is the last day of the season.

96 days in first place, 70 in a row. +2.5 over MN, 5.5 over DET

 

100 down, 62 to go.

 

on pace to a 92-70 season, assuming we play .570 ball the rest of the way, our schedule couldn't possibly be any worse for the rest of the year from what it's already been. this next 10 games could arguably be the last 'difficult' part of our schedule for the rest of the year

The end of the year (10 games in a row on the road, I think) then coming home for Cleveland the last 3 games of the year is pretty tough as well...

For Detroit to get to 92 wins, they would have to win 66% of their remaining games with 33 home games left. Minnesota needs to win 61% of their remaining games and only have 28 home games remaining.

 

Using Home/Away Win %, here is how the season would play out:

 

Chicago

Home 35-16 - 30 * 69% 21-9

Away 22-27 - 32 * 45% 14-18

35-27 Remaining

57-43 Current

92-70 Total

 

Minnesota

Home 34-19 - 28 * 64% 18-10

Away 21-27 - 33 * 44% 15-18

33-28 Remaining

55-46 Current

88-74 Total

 

Detroit

Home 28-20 - 33 * 58% 19-14

Away 24-29 - 28 * 45% 13-15

32-29 Remaining

52-49 Current

84-78 Total

Detoilet has a 10 game win streak in them here somewhere. Minnesota, I think they have the capability of playing about .550 (+5 games or so above .500). Chicago will play .500 for the rest of the year if I had to guess (everything staying equal like it is now, no trades, etc.). So, that would say it's going to be a tight race.

Dye blast sounds death knell for Tigers. Sox 58-43, 3.5 up on the damn Twinkies and 6.5 up on the damn Tiggers.

 

It's too early for the Tiger's funeral dirge to be played.
