Massive Tie Scenario

Only the Rangers lost Wednesday night. The keeps most wins for the massive tie scenario involving the Astros at 89 wins:

  • Astros 13-9
  • Rangers 16-8
  • Twins 17-6
  • Angels 19-4
  • Indians 21-3

The Indians and Twins play seven times, and this scenario has Cleveland taking six of seven in that series. The Twins sweep four games from the Angels, and the Angels sweep six from Houston and four from Texas. Then, the Astros take four of seven from the Rangers.

Here is the more likely 87 win scenario:

  • Astros 11-11
  • Rangers 14-10
  • Twins 15-8
  • Angels 17-6
  • Indians 19-5

The other five way tie involves just five wild card teams. This works at 89 wins.

  • Rangers 16-8
  • Twins 17-6
  • Angels 19-4
  • Indians 21-3
  • Rays 21-2

This would require the Indians to take five of the seven games against the Twins, the Twins to sweep the four games against the Angels, and the Angels to sweep the four games against Texas. I also suspect that the Astros would get knocked out of the top spot in this scenario. More likely here is the 85 win scenario:

  • Rangers 12-12
  • Twins 13-10
  • Angels 15-8
  • Indians 17-7
  • Rays 19-6

For Tuesday, the best results would be:

  • The Rangers fall to the Mariners.
  • The Indians beat Detroit.

There is a light schedule today.
