[johnnyvegas13]

Nash ???

also still no line up for this

was hoping for lottery odds like +4000

[actiondan]

i think they catch boston in wild card. 5 remaining against detroit wouldn’t shock me.

[actiondan]

just a couple weeks ago playoff teams looked locked in. a shake up will be intriguing

[SBR Andy]

Cleveland wins again last night to move to 4.5 games back. Can Skubal stop the bleeding for the Tigers today?

BetMGM is the only book I see with the AL Central market up right now. Guardians now +1600

They play another 3-game series next week in Cleveland.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Guardians on an epic run here. Amazing.

wow down to -140/+120, crazy run run, this race will be the one to watch this week

[SBR Andy]

Tribe now 1 game back and hosting the Tigers for a 3-game set in Cleveland starting today. They then finish at home vs the Rangers who are all but eliminated.

Tigers end at Boston who will still be fighting for a wild card spot.

Indians rolling. Detroit imploding. Love to see it.

Tigers and Mets fans

[SBR Andy]

What a meltdown. If not for the Astros limping to the finish line the Tigers would be out of the playoffs right now. Final 5 games are going to be very interesting

[stevenash]

2024 Twins redux.

The Tigers had a 99.9% chance of winning the division on 9/10

MLB on X: "Detroit had a 99.9% chance to win the AL Central on September 10. For the first time ALL SEASON, the @CleGuardians are favored to win the AL Central according to FanGraphs! https://t.co/R08RCvWSfZ" / X

Indians were 12.5 games out 30 days ago. This would be the most epic comeback in MLB history.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Cleveland starting pitching have not given up more than 2 runs in the last 20 games. That’s how you run off 16-2 record. I think they had 19 strikeouts last night. Wow!

[stevenash]

Pitching wins baseball championships, not hitting.
It's simple; it's been that way for the last 150 years.

[SBR Andy]

Another one.

Tribe now essentially 2 games up with the tiebreaker and can get out the brooms and nearly taste the champagne with a sweep today.

Cleveland had like a 0.4% chance at winning the division. That’s insane. I heard you had to bet $28k to win a $100 on Detroit winning the division before their collapse. Imagine placing that bet.

[SBR Andy]

The Tigers finally stop the bleeding and beat Cleveland on Thursday. They now have the same record but the Guardians hold the tiebreaker.

Odds to win the AL Central going into the final series:

Cleveland (vs Texas):




Detroit (at Boston):

[SBR Andy]

From 15.5 games back and +25000 odds to win the division, the Guardians complete the comeback and claim the AL Central.

Their opponent in the wildcard round? The Tigers.

Get your popcorn ready

[Optional]

Great sport story.

Rooting for them to go further.

[Mac4Lyfe]

Yeah, the Guardians now have to take care of business. Nothing matters if they go down to the Tigers.

The Mets also imploded this season. 178 days in playoff position to not make the playoffs. Unreal.

[pavyracer]

They caught them but couldn't beat them in playoffs.
