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.

Indians have 7 of the next 10 against the Blue Jays and Rangers. We will find out good they are this next week.

Absolutely.

The Royals win will the World Series again before the Chiefs even make it back to a Super Bowl.

But the CHunts will sell tickets and the stadium and parking lots will be fun, and the team won't suck but won't have a real chance to make it to the SB, either.

I'm all for another Royals ride, though. Let's crush some ****ing Twinkies this weekend and make a run at it.

Cleveland's a good team this year, no doubt. Their pitching has drastically overachieved so far. Would love to see a collapse. Napoli put some swagger into that lineup.

Next 10 games are huge.

Overachieved? That starting staff has been waiting to be picked up by the rest of the team for at least two years now. IMO, I think they're finally living up to their potential.
Kluber, Salazar, Carrasco, Tomlin, Bauer is a scary good starting staff.
