Tigers, Rays still in contention despite lackluster results after All-Star break

Nobody wants to win the American League wild card. At least, that's what it feels like. There are six teams within five games of the second wild card spot, including the Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays. However, many of the fanbases of teams in contention have all but resigned their fate for 2015. Tigers fans have debated the merits of buying or selling at the trade deadline for the past month, and while the team has indicated they will buy, it's anyone's guess whether last night's 11-1 drubbing in Boston changed the minds that matter.
