With one week left in the regular season, the American League playoff picture is somehow still wide open.
The Rays, Yankees, and Red Sox lead the way in the East, the Guardians and White Sox are still fighting for the Central, and the AL West might give us one of the strangest division winners we’ve seen in years.
The guys break down every remaining AL race, debate whether a .500 team could really make the postseason as a division winner, and predict which teams will survive October.
Can the White Sox finish the job? Are the Yankees or Red Sox built for a deep run? Should the Rays be considered the team to beat? And who ultimately represents the American League in the World Series?
Plus, we look at some of the season’s biggest disappointments and close things out with more MLB guessing-game chaos.
