9 games behind Cleveland is a real mountain to climb. There are a bunch of teams ahead of us in the wild card... but I still feel better about 6.5 back over 9 back. The Yankees and Astros are two of those teams and only a game ahead of us. A solid next week or two, and we could realistically jump several of those teams and only have the Mariners between us and the last spot heading into September.
Plus if we caught the Orioles and knocked them out of the playoffs their fans would probably have to check into a clinic.
