AL Down to the Wire

Handicapping American League Last Day of Play with three teams tied for last playoff spot.

Cleveland faces:
Texas 79-74 (.516)
Seattle 60-93 (.392)
Los Angeles 76-77 (.497)
Aggregate W-L = 215-244 (.468)

Texas faces:
Cleveland 79-74 (.516)
Boston 74-79 (.484)
Seattle 60-93 (.392)
Aggregate W-L = 213-246 (.464)

Washington faces:
New York 93-60 (.608)
Baltimore 72-81 (.471)
Boston 74-79 (.484)
Aggregate W-L = 239-220 (.520)

On the face of it, Texas has the nominally easier schedule that may give them the edge. Texas, however, also has two injured regulars. Washington has one. Cleveland has an injured SP but he's due back in three SimDays. That may or may not play into the season outcome. Depends on how deep a bench each of our owners has built.

While Washington has the higher hill to climb, Seattle plays both Cleveland and Texas with the big opportunity to play spoiler.

Let's see how this plays out.
