Who holds the tiebreaker between Seattle and TB?

 

Tampa

Who holds the tiebreaker between Seattle and TB?

 

Rays iirc

[Spanky__99]

That's right Tigers... FINISH THEM!!!

[Eat My Shatkins]

4-1 now!

[Kordesi]

One more please - go Tigers

[DigitalRock]

4 to 1 Tigers, please hold on

[Solaxys]

Brewers win (walkoff single); Phillies still prolly clinching with a win

[Masterbather]

Do the Tigers still have that great bullpen or have there been injuries or whatever I haven't been following them.

No, it's good. Well, Jiminez is hurt, though.

[Spanky__99]

Love the effort, great catch.

[Solaxys]

Astros about to host two postseason clinches aside their own.

 

Rays clinched last week and Phillies about to clinch.

 

Edit: clinched

[Spanky__99]

Phillies clinch.

 

So Phillies @ Mets.

[Solaxys]

So Phillies @ Mets.

 

Could be Cards if SD plays well. They are 0.5 apart with Padres in the lead (0 - 0 atm against Giants) but if I was Padres, I'd 100% tank lol.

 

Cardinals much easier matchup than Mets (pitching wise)

[Grant77]

5 walks, 7 hits for the Tigers and we're still in the 5th inning. I've watched a lot of Mariners games recently and this just doesn't look anything like a playoff calibre roster. Wild pitching, lots of defensive miscues, and absolutely horrendous offense. I hope that trend continues.

Agreed - made the play offs because of poorer opponents than their strength

[Spanky__99]

Ruh-Roh... he was cruising.

That's why I'm concerned they may play themselves right down to the six seed, and there may be some intent to it.

[Kordesi]

Oh well … not looking great now

[Kordesi]

Wow - nice dp

[Solaxys]

damn that sucked for Ms; f*** yes.

It would really suck to have the perfect scenario lined up for a few weeks, only to end up facing the Rays. They are, in my opinion, the best team we could have faced.

lmfao

[jaysblue]

Would rather face the Mariners instead of the Rays at the Rogers Centre.

You don't think the Mariner's are tanking for the matchup do you?

[leaffie]

I too watch a lot of mariner games, and I just thought a few minutes ago, that they certainly didn't play like this when the Jays were in town.

[Spanky__99]

Well guys, Tampa were 3-7 coming into tonight in their last 10, the Mariners 6-4...

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Grant77]

You don't think the Mariner's are tanking for the matchup do you?

 

They aren't tanking, but they certainly aren't putting in their best lineups or best effort. Lots of regulars resting and poor effort in the field.

Okay.

[Jonn]

Can never rule out America’s Team.

[Masterbather]

Okay.

They aren't tanking at the moment because they still have a chance to play at home, but if they lose that chance tonight I could see them resting players and not being too upset about moving down in the standings.
