Massive Tie Update

It was another poor day for massive tie possibilities in the AL. The Yankees almost beat Toronto, but the bullpen blew a one-run lead in the ninth. The Tigers were the only team that lost, basically putting the Blue Jays and Orioles in command of the race.

AL Wild Card Tie Possibility
Team Record
Blue Jays 1-6
Orioles 2-4
Tigers 4-3
Mariners 5-2
Astros 5-1

 

I don’t think that’s going to happen.

Even the four-way tie for the second wild card slot looks iffy. A three-way tie for the second slot between the Orioles, Tigers, and Mariners could happen, but a three-way for the top two slots, like in the NL, may be the best bet.

AL Wild Card Tie Possibility
Team Record
Blue Jays 4-2
Orioles 5-1
Tigers 7-0

 

Since the Orioles and Blue Jays play three games head-to-head, Baltimore would need to take two of three from Toronto to make this happen at 90 wins.

Stay tuned.
