The AL Central pennant race


The White Sox have an uphill battle to finish with enough wins to get the wild card berth. Ozzie thinks 95 wins will do it, I can only see the boys winning 91. Look at how the renmaining schedule shakes out, knowing that we have a five and fly guy in Javy, a suddenly iffy Contreras, an iffy Freddie and an iffy Buehrle as well:
.
.
Tampa: 2 of 3
at KC: 2 of 3 so far so good.
at Bos: 1 of 3
Cle: 2 of 4 it is so hard to take three of four anywhere.
at LAA: 1 of 3
at Oak: 1 of 3 this could be deemed a good west coast trip result.
Dt: 2 of 3 cinch it up
Sea: 2 of 4
at Cle 1 of 3
at MN 1 of 3 the death blow.

15 wins...Meanwhile the Twins pick up 18 wins with their schedule and the White Sox are playing golf...or drinking shots...on October 2nd.
