Can AL Central team sneak a wild card?

[coloradobuff]

With way Chicago and Minnesota are playing, do you think that whoever finishes 2nd in AL Central can snag the wild card from the Rays or Yanks?

not likely at all, 6 games back with 25 to go..

Less then a 1% chance. You know Yanks and Rays will keep winning as well.

I can see tampa skidding, there home gms are are like a neutral field..

I was thinking about that the other day. Twins are only 3.5 GB of Tampa, assuming that both the Twins and White Sox don't drop off the face of the earth these last 3 and a half weeks I could see an AL Central team at least in the Wild Card discussion the last week of the season.

about 5% imo

very low chance. twins and white sox would both have to play great while tampa played sub par.

I think the actual odds are around 2%. However, there's a big 3-game series (in Minnesota) coming up between the White Sox and Twins, so the White Sox will probably need to sweep that to have a shot. That's asking a lot because the Sox have not played the Twins very well the last few years, especially on the road.
