Well, this is it.
Last day of the season.
15 games all start at 3pm Eastern, but only one game matters.
Diamondbacks @ Padres.
If the Diamondbacks beat the Padres, they get the bottom NL Wild Card slot by pushing out the Phillies, because the D'backs have the tiebreaker.
Astros have the tiebreaker over Texas, and they went one up on the Rangers last night when they clobbered the As, so they take the AL West.
White Sox lost their bid for AL Central by losing to the Rockies (the Rockies! Just makes it sting a bit more). Good on the Guardians, but taking the AL Central would have been a nice MLB Cinderella story this year with the Sox's dreadful recent history.
The Astros have the opportunity to beat the A's again today so that they can win the division with a flat .500 rating, otherwise they fall short. I think they will be the first Division champion to have a losing season. AL West has just crazy this year. "Go Astros! We suck less than the others!" However, Yordan Alvarez, their towering power hitter, will likely take AL MVP this year. The magic of baseball. The Angels know all about having the best players on the worst teams.
Speaking of...
Angels lost last night, 99 losses. One more chance to beat the Mariners and simply tie for the worst season in franchise history, rather than continue on their record braking ways. You can do it!
Wildcard games start Tuesday!
