It looks like the Braves need to sweep the Mets then take two of three against the Royals to at least tie the Mets for the final wild card spot, which they would earn because of head to head competition. The odds are against them due to their inconsistent pitching, but who knows?

You also have the Diamondbacks in front of you, you could catch them instead for the final spot.

Mets at Milwaukee won't be easy for them, and KC is in a major swoon that they are running out of time to reverse. The Braves aren't in the spot they'd want to be but I don't think their odds are that bad.

Detroit’s finishing up with a homestand against the middling Rays and the gawdawful White Sox… I like their chances for staying in the postseason WC lane.

Yeah, fuck that guy.

Co-sign. 
And still miss the early/mid 1970s A’s, which was right around the time that I began to follow baseball. I need to look for a good book about that team and era. 1973 A’s-Mets was the first World Series I remember watching, and it was a good ‘un.

Much credit, I’m sure, to the stewardship of A.J. Hinch. AL postseason opponents beware! 

I sincerely hope that Hinch is viewing this, being able to build a core of kids as a group (literally, most of the rookies have come up together through the minors) as a personal cleansing of that shitshow he had in Houston.

We'll see what happens going forth, both in the post-season and in the years hence/Hinch, but unless/until it gets dark, all I can say is that I stumbled into this team because mine died early, came back for Jason Benetti, and started noticing a bunch of kids I had never even heard of playing crisp baseball that only got crisper the deeper into the season they went.

I'll take crisp, always!

Plus, Detroit. Now that I got family there and have seen the city a bit...yeah, Tigers!

Oh yeah, the Tigers owner is a pig and is responsible for a lot of the destruction of historic Detroit, especially Black Detroit. 

Most sports owners appear to be pigs. Not that that's any excuse. But the less I see of him, the more I can think of the team itself.
