AL Race
While the four AL teams are set, the matchups are still to be determined. We may know by the end of the day, however, as a Cleveland win or a LAnaheim loss means the Indians will play the wild card from the AL East. The Indians hold the tie-breaker with the Angels. So if Cleveland wins tonight, they will get home field in the first round.
Then, a Yankees loss and a Red Sox win means Boston wins the east, so in that case the playoffs are set. Right now, it looks like New York plays Cleveland and Boston plays LAnaheim.
I'm hoping the Red Sox win the division, since that would break the Yankee's streak, ensuring that Atlanta's 14 straight still reigns supreme. (Gotta root for something now that they're officially out of the playoffs. :-/)
You know, in 1994 they awarded batting titles and everything else. The season happened, and the Braves weren't in first in their division when the season ended.
