I'm honestly super concerned about the tiebreaking scenarios. Baltimore will have nothing to really play for when they go to Minnesota for the last series of the season. They are going to take care of themselves and get their rotation in order and not really care if they drop the series, especially if it eliminates the hottest team in the AL. On the flip the white Sox have even less to play for and the Tigers should steamroll them but they are a rival and what better way to end their miserable season by playing a factor in the race. A sweep today would just be huge. Go Tigers.
Speaking of tie breakers I don't get them. Like I completely understand how they work but tiebreaker games are some of the most exciting in baseball. I'm surprised the league (that really likes money) did away with them? Probably because by adding all these playoff teams they know it would become a yearly issue. But IS it an issue or a great way to kick off playoff season?
