The Sad Reality of a Top-Heavy League:
 

The American League playoff match-ups are already set:

Wild-Card Play-In:

NYY (4) vs. OAK (5)

Division Series:

CLE (3) vs. HOU (2)
BOS (1) vs. Play-In Winner (4 or 5)

League Championship:

(3v2 Winner) vs. (1v(4 or 5) winner)

Parity? Where are you?

FACT: There is NO TRUTH to the rumor that the Orioles and Royals will meet in a Play-In to face the Hawaiian Little League Team.

I think you're right Raymond. The A.L race does look like it's over.

On Aug 29th 1978 the Redsox were 7.5 games up on NY.

proud of my Oakland as ,,

The N.L. still looks totally up for grabs.
As a Cubs fan I still can't believe we picked up Cole Hamels and Daniel Murphy for the stretch run for next to nothing. :D They're our best two players right now!
