How Wild Card Could Be Wild These Last 2 Weeks

Standings are weird when the teams haven’t all played the same number of games, stranger yet when there are tie-breakers to consider. On September 14th, here sit 3 teams neck and neck for 2 wild card spots and if you needed proof of how confusing it all is consider that the Indians are preparing for a day-night double-header this fine Saturday.

Here are the facts, followed by some of the possibilities and how they affect your Oakland A’s.

Oakland 88-60
Tampa Bay 88-61
Cleveland 86-61

As you probably know, having won the series from both the Rays (4-3) and the Indians (5-1), the A’s win any tie-breakers, giving them an excellent at hosting the wild card if they get there at all.
