Massive Tie Scenario

The Indians, the team that can afford to lose the least, fell to Toronto Tuesday night, but the other four combatants won. Here is the 93 win tie scenario now:

  • Rangers 24-7
  • Twins 25-6
  • Angels 27-3
  • Rays 27-3
  • Indians 29-2

The Indians play the Twins seven times. The Angels play the Twins four times and the Rangers seven times. This scenario is on the edge, as all Twins losses would come against the Angels and Indians, and the Twins would provide the only losses for those two teams. The Angels would also need to sweep Texas.

Here is the more likely 84 win scenario:

  • Rangers 15-16
  • Twins 16-15
  • Angels 18-12
  • Rays 18-12
  • Indians 20-11

That is a fairly believable scenario. There’s plenty of room on either side of that number.

For today, the best results would be:

  • The Angels beat the Athletics.
  • The Rays defeat the Orioles.
  • The Indians take down the Blue Jays.
  • The Twins can go either way against the White Sox.
  • The Rangers lose to the Padres.

Stay tuned.
