Same here Jimbo, but there are several teams on the cusp of elimination.

As a Toronto fan, I can unfortunately say the Jays are one of them.
 
From a different perspective.

Ultimate Astros » Astros take 10-game lead, tragic number dwindles to 15

Bill,
Are you going to update this daily ?

I give you the Popcorn so you have something to munch on and the coffee so you can stay awake waiting for these games to end.

Thank you !

LOL............yeah, I'll try to update them daily, and make a note if it doesn't include a late game.

BTW, I'm a diet pespi guy.
 
Tigers Magic Number now stands at 16 after a 4-2 win over the Indians.

Tigers are now up in the AL Central by 7.5 games.

Over/under Sept. 15 as the Tigers clinching date?

That would be nice, I still have memories of 09 when they had about the same lead and lost it to the twins

Two teams could be ME (mathematically eliminated) by the end of the day: the Royals and Cubs

I think it will be slightly later than that.
It would seem unreal for the Tigers to ever clinch something EARLY.

That said, the earlier the better, this way we don't have any pitching issues, such as having to run Verlander out there to get in and not be able to pitch game 1
 
I agree it will be somewhat later than that (around the 20th?), but the Tigers are currently trending towards an earlier clinching.

The way I see it the Tigers would have to win the next 8games to make Sept. 15th, don't see that happening, could happen, but doubt it.

I see formatting is poor again.
 
Yankees win, Red Sox lose...............Yanks division MN is down to 21 and playoff berth MN is now 14, meanwhile the Sox playoff berth MN is still 16.
