Red Sox up 2-0 on Athletics right away today. They are some kind of hot right now. 27-3 in their last 30 is insane. I think the Twins can give up on catching any of the three teams in the east. The funny thing with the expanded playoff format is that as it stands all three AL East teams will be on the same side of the AL playoffs meaning someone from the AL central or West will make the ALCS. Boston, Tampa Bay, and the Yankees are definitely the three best teams on this side, but only one of them can make the ALCS. If the Twins make the playoffs, they will be the 2, 3, or 6 and have a serious chance to make a run to the championship series.
