Plus: Alex Cobb comes within 1 out of no-hitter
Unlike every other division race, there are three teams in the mix for first place in the AL West: The scorching white-hot Mariners, the defending champion Astros, and the reeling but still well-positioned Rangers.
They're all absurdly bunched together, with the Mariners, Astros and Rangers all virtually tied through last night's games, and, even more exciting, none of those teams are assured of a Wild Card spot, not with the Blue Jays (and to a lesser extent the Red Sox) lurking behind them. The difference between first place and third place in the AL West could be the difference between a first-round bye ... and not making the playoffs at all. |
