Massive Tie Scenarios

It was a very mixed night for the massive tie scenarios, and in general it looks bleaker than yesterday. The Mariners decided to stop winning, and that makes the situation dire. The main scenario among the four teams competing for the AL Central title or the two AL Wild Card slots can happen with at most 89 wins.

Tigers 3-3
Athletics 3-3
Royals 4-2
Mariners 6-0

The other scenario, involving just the wild card teams and the Indians, or the three AL Central teams and the Mariners, can happen at 87 wins:

Athletics or Tigers 1-5
Royals 2-4
Mariners 4-2
Indians 5-0

You can even throw in the Yankees going 6-0 in this one. Basically, both are on life support in the Mariners don’t start winning.

For today the best results would be:

  • Kansas City and Cleveland go either way, with a bias toward Kansas City winning.
  • Seattle defeats Toronto
  • Detroit falls to the White Sox
  • Oakland loses to LAnaheim

It would not hurt if the Yankees won as well.
