And the Cardinals keep on winning. They tied a franchise record of 14 wins in a row last night matching the feat from 1935. The NL wild card race is basically over unlike AL where Blue Jays suddenly look cold after a bad loss to the Twins. The long-time suffering Mariners are sniffing to move into one spot away from the 2nd wild card alas I believe Red Sox and Yankees will probably get in.

not so fast...

 

the Yankees have an awful schedule (2 games vs Boston, 3 vs the Jays and 3 vs the Rays), meanwhile Boston and Toronto, other than the direct matchups against the Yankees, have to play teams like Minnesota, Washington and the Orioles...

 

sure, NY have their fate in their hands (if they win most of the direct matchups, they are in), but it won't be easy at all for them to accomplish that mission...

 

in the NL, I fear the Cards could even make it through to the World Series, given the shape they're in right now...I wouldn't like to be the Dodgers, facing them in a single game Wild Card round (even if they play in LA)...

 

in any case, it's gonna be an interesting "long week" to end this year's RS...

Toronto has lost their first 2 against Minnesota, so clearly that's not helping them.  Right now the Yankees are 2 games ahead of the Blue Jays, so that's a bad starting point for Toronto.  The head to head will probably determine who gets the 2nd wild card.  And remember that the Rays, but that last series of the season, may have very little left to play for when they're facing the Yankees.

 

It's far from over, but huge upper hand to the Yankees based on the past few days, especially if they can get 1 of these next 2 in Boston

Yankees won two in a row vs Red Sox. The Rays series at the end of the season might not matter even if Rays won't have anything to play for.  Mariners are 1-11 down to Angels (sic!) while Dodgers could drop one to D-backs. If NL wild card turns out to be Dodgers vs Cardinals that would be quite a game! LAD pitching staff is something else when Kershaw is basically #4 guy on the depth chart!

First day of the final weekend series is over now and what a day it was especially me being a Blue Jays fan (even thought it would've been nice if the Red Sox lost too).

 

National League Scores (for games that matter)

San Diego 0-3 San Francisco

Milwaukee 6-8 LA Dodgers

 

American League Scores (for games that matter)

Baltimore 4-6 Toronto

Boston 4-2 Washington

Tampa Bay 4-3 NY Yankees

LA Angels 2-1 Seattle

 

Giants are still two games ahead of the Dodgers for the NL West division. The Dodgers will need to win both games and the Giants will have to lose both games to force a 163rd game of the season to decide who wins the division and who plays in the wild card game.

 

The American League is a lot more complex. 4 teams still alive for two wildcard playoff spots. The Yankees are currently one game ahead of the Red Sox who are one game ahead of both the Mariners and Blue Jays.

 

As long as the Yankees win one more game, they'll clinch one of the spots.

 

After the loss by Seattle tonight, the Boston Red Sox are in control and will clinch the 2nd spot if they win both of their remaining games. Should they lose one of those games, a loss by both Seattle and Toronto would still give them a playoff spot while two wins by those teams would force a tiebreaker game. Should the Red Sox lose both of their remaining games, they would be out of the playoffs entirely if Seattle and Toronto win both of their games while two red sox losses and a win by either Seattle or Toronto would force a tie breaker.

 

The Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays are tied but on the outside looking in. The best way for either of the two teams to get in would be to win both of their remaining games and hope the Red Sox lose at least one to force a 163rd game. To have sole possession of a wild card spot, the team would have to win both games, the Red Sox would have to lose both games and the other team they're tied with would have to lose at least one of the games.

      really sad when you win a olympic medal 3 years later and no one cares Of course it will be registered and so on, but all those moments of joy etc are gone. Yes its first Croatian wrestling medal since independence, but there was a medal won for Yugoslavia by Croatian.

      https://www.skysports.com/tennis/news/12110/13262332/iga-swiatek-five-time-grand-slam-champion-accepts-one-month-suspension-in-doping-case Cwnt see WADA not overturning this. One month for a banned substance is very low even for accidental consumption. I’ve only ever heard that short for something banned only in Competition and therefore not seen as fully doping. .

      big big news regarding Olympic bronze medalist and two time World Champion  Zurabi Datunashvili   https://ita.sport/news/the-ita-acknowledges-cas-add-decision-sanctioning-wrestler-zurabi-datunashvili-for-anti-doping-rule-violations/   to be honest everything was suspicious about this guy, his sudden improvement since 2021, his body, his sudden retirement in 2023 . its great to see him finally getting caught.   they will reallocate the medals later after the end of the process but his Olympic bronze will go to  Ivan Huklek, I think that will be the first ever wrestling medal for Croatia   his 2021 World title will go  Maskevich and the 2022 gold goes to  Bisultanov Bisultanov will benefit more than anybody else, he also gets a bronze from 2021 and  Kessidis will get a bronze from 2022.
