Basically, there are two spots for five teams. Rays, Orioles, A's, Indians and Royals. As of now we are fifth on the list but with so much time left that doesn't matter a whole lot. If we keep winning like we are we should be able to pass three of those teams which is all we have to do to get a wildcard. That is not too bad of a spot and I see no reason why we can't do it. Cleveland is running out of the luck that got them all those walk off victories and Oakland is in a free fall. Orioles are playing uninspiring and pretty meh and Tampa is coming back down after they had a good stretch.
Cleveland will hopefully be passed by tomorrow with Baltimore being passed in a week or so. Then we have the rest of the season to just pass one more team. Obviously we have to pass them and stay above them but the way all the teams are playing I don't see why we can't. We can do this guys!

Only issue with this is a 5-game series in Detroit coming up, whom is probably the best team in baseball at this point.
