    16 games to play
    OAK - 42 Games behind - Eliminated from ALW
    LAA - 31 1/2 Games behind - Eliminated from ALW
    TEX - 31 1/2 Games behind - Eliminated from ALW
    SEA - 14 Games behind - Houston hold the tie breaker.
    _____Real E# is 3; most e# lists do not incorporate tie breakers.

    AL Homefield
    NYY - 7 1/2 Games behind - Houston holds the Tie Breaker - E# 9

    Tie breaker calculation - Houston Losses plus remaining games = x. (51+ 16 = 67)
    x - Opponent Losses = Tie and typical E# +1. Houston Tie breaker advantage. (Do not +1. SEA 67-64 = 3)

    Houston clinched a playoff spot.

    Houston clinches a bye with a win or a CLE loss and a Division win over SEA.

    Six, for now.

    Of course Judge hit a 9th inning bomb, still down by 3.

    eta: 5 in the 9th for the Yanks, Stanton hit another bomb, they win 9-8.

    The number is still 6

    You may focus as you choose. Between your BOTTOM LINE and Bobreck's SHOW THE WORK, you can't do anything that satisfies you both.

    Yea, goodness he’s just doing the math for each option, just read what you want, or not at all, what a weird statement of annoyance for no reason…

    You're the one that said Javier hasn't been a good reliever this year. 21 ks in 14 innings. 0.767 WHIP. 1.26 ERA. so, I asked you to show your work as to why he hasn't been a good reliever this year.

    Only if I get enough sleep for my sense of humor to wake up.

    Right now? I'm not even at 4 hours yet and I've probably wasted my only chance for restful sleep tonight.

    Sometimes I am that cranky old man I swore I'd never be.
