It's really a 6-game lead on Detroit, as we already have clinched the tie-breaker on them. So if they make up the 5 games on us for the third spot, we get it on the tie-breaker. They have to finish ahead of us by one game to get that spot.
Boston and Seattle are both 6 games back, Boston owns the tie-breaker on us. We split the season series with Seattle, next tie-breaker is intra-division records, and thanks in large part to our 12-1 vs. the White Sox that gives us the edge. So we have effectively a 7-game lead on the Mariners.
