Playoff odds now down to 10% - seems like a real stretch all of a sudden. Boston having a way better year than expected really ate into those playoff hopes that were formed earlier in the year.
It's weird - preseason projections had the Jays around 85-87 wins and I'd say it's still pretty likely they end up there. It's just that the Red Sox and White Sox are doing so much better than expected that the playoff hopes are so much lower.
Also, the White Sox are a fraud and will get stomped come playoff time - they have played by far the easiest schedule and are way below .500 against good teams. MLB needs to figure out a more balanced schedule.
