The Clevelands have caught up to the Rangers, who while not quite in free fall, are certainly making it easier on those below them. The Rays had a pitching gem pitched last night, an 8 and a third game tossed by Mr. Cobb.
The Tribe had 7 shutout innings from reclamation project Scott Kazmir over the Astros, who really want the calender to move faster.
The schedule for them Indians is way too favorable, give them a week and they may have passes the Rays. This might set up an interesting AL playoff match up as follows.
If the A's can catch Boston and have the best record, they would play the Tribe. Setting up the Tigers and Sox, in a real pick'em series. Tiger pitching I think would prevail. If Sox and Tribe win, it sets up Francona against his old team.
Watch the Tribe in the last 8-9 games, and just so I can say I said so, there is a chance of a 3 way chance of a tie in the AL Wild card, and NL Central, if the Cards falter.
I see the Cards winning outright, and the Pirates hosting a one game playoff with the Reds, the other races are done, and they are setting up rotations and will rest veterans with the call ups.
After the Indians and Eric Bedard finish off the Astros, they get the sad sack White Sox, who are destined for the laundry, as there sox are dirty.
After a deuce with Chicago, they finish with the Twins, the 2nd worst record.
Here come the Tribe.
