The Red Sox are having a major effect at keeping everyone else in the race with this 7-0 run,
Houston has a legit shot now which is incredible based on their start and the roughest September schedule by far.
They have the Angels for 7 of 10 with the M's mixed in, so they could very realistically sneak past and knock out Baltimore.
Seattle has it pretty easy with the Twins and A's and that Houston series.
Come to think of it, Seattle and Houston could still knock out the Jays and O's if they don't sweep each other and take care of business in their other series. Less likely with the M's being 3 behind the Jays, but possible.
The Tigers have Cleveland, KC and Atlanta the rest of the way, so they may have f'd up their chances.
And holy shit, the Yankees are only 2.5 out. . .
