Re: Detroit Tigers, Volume 5: The Hank Greenberg edition
52 wins at the break, 10 games over- should be 56 wins at least except for our sieve bullpen and all or nothing offense.
If the playoffs started today, Texas would face Tampa in a one game playoff to play Boston. The Tigers would play Oakland and have played the most number of games to play than any contender. The Orioles are close enough to the wild card to say they could sneak in past either the Rangers or Tampa. Cleveland is only 1.5 games out from Detroit, but neither would get the wildcard. The Yanks, tied with Cleveland's record, look to be the odd team still in the race, but out because of the division they are in.
This is a good race, and with 62+ games to play on the average, it will go into September.
