Beginning the day, Sept. 1
Red Sox 74-59 (10h, 19a)
Orioles 72-61 (14h, 15a)
Tigers 72-61 (14h, 15a)
Astros 71-62 (13h, 16a)
Yankees 69-63 (16h, 14a)
Royals 69-64 (17h, 12a)
Mariners 68-65 (17h, 12a)
The Royals, coming off a 20-9 month, have 6 left with the Tigers -- including a three-game set beginning Friday -- and a home schedule that includes the A's, Twins and White Sox
The Tigers and Orioles have a crucial three-game series in Detroit starting Sept. 9. The Tigers also have the quirkiest schedule remaining -- as they finish the season with 3 in Atlanta
The Orioles end the year on the road for six games -- three each in Toronto and the Bidet.
The Astros have a brutal stretch to start the month -- @ Texas, @ Cleveland, home to the Cubs, home to the Rangers. Hard to see them surviving that still in contention.
The Yankees test will be a mid-month 11-game trip at Fenway (4), Tampa Bay (3) and Toronto (4).
The Mariners current five-game skid has hurt their chances, although they have a home-heavy finish. In they're still hanging around in two weeks, a six-game stand against the Astros and Blue Jays should determine their fate.
