    Each team plays 6 games before their next day off ( all on 8/31).

    Astros: 3 @Det, 3 @ Bos.
    Mariners: 3 vs KC, 3 vs Oak.
    Rangers: 3 @ Min, 3 @ NYM

    After that Seattle and Texas each play 29 games in 31 games w/ only 2 off days the rest of the season.

    The Astros don't play more than 6 days in a row, having off days every Thursday the rest of the season.

    What happens if Arlington, Seattle, and Houston all finish with the same record?

    We have to sweep all 6, because Seattle isn’t losing to either of those teams. I think after these 6 games, Seattle we be in first, Astros in 2nd.

    Still a lot of games left, but so far Seattle has been money vs ALW and probably ( I need to look) would own 2nd tiebreaker

    The Mariners maybe sprinting but not the Rangers or Astros.

    Dusty don't care. He'll do what's best for the team (in his mind) and there's no need for useless urgency or sprinting anywhere. You may not like it but in the end of the season the team, the FO, the fans, the league, and especially Manfred will thank him for it.

    The 7 games between Southern Oklahoma and CHAZ will be interesting, especially the last series of the season. Let's home they beat each other up and 3-4 / 4-3 overall.

    I know they aren't AL West, but we need to start tracking the Blue Jays and not just the West teams. I honestly think getting the last (3rd) WC is the 2nd best option after winning the division.
