Probably a lot more than that even.
O's got clobbered by Houston again today, would be nice if the Tigers could come back and beat the Red Sox though. I wouldn't be shocked if the O's fall out of the AL race now, but we will see. They're 2.5 back of the Jays now.
Also, don't look now but the stupid Royals are hot as hell, have won 7 straight and have clawed their way back into the wild card race. 3 games over 500 and only 4.5 back of the 2nd wild card now.
At this point there are a lot of teams in contention for a playoff spot. With the Indians and Texas looking good to win their divisions, there are roughly 8 teams still battling for the other three spots with Toronto, Baltimore, Boston, New York, Detroit, KC, Seattle and Houston all in the mix.
