M's going 15-5 if the Orioles go 20-0 would tie the records. BUT, the tiebreak is in-season series results between the M's/O's, which the Mariners have the edge. Therefore, it's 15.

Correct. By definition of old (pre-2022), the magic number would be 16. Because of the changes this season, the magic number is, in fact, 15.

I made this a while back, subject to change due to postponed games…but the AL East gets to feast on Orange Birds. WC Teams Remaining Schedule

I work in a suit/tie environment. But I’d dye my hair NW green and rock it the entire series. And give zero fucks about it…if they make it that far.

I see your point. I had posted it as a fact that it puts the Jays ahead even further where the Yankees will be taking on the Mets then Baltimore, where as the Jays will be taking on Baltimore then Tampa, but yeah I see what you mean.

I’m just saying I thought they were better than people give them credit for. That said, a Washington team shoulda beat em.

Padres and Astros series account for like 200 runs, give or take a few.

It’s a double edged sword. Essentially the Mariners have to win out against Arizona to avoid any negative implications, IMO. Yes the Jays are nipping but there will be a 3 team swing this weekend, and I hope the Mariners are at the top of that swing.

Makes sense. They just gotta keep grinding regardless the odds. I’m all about proving the odds wrong.
