I think its going to be real tough for the Red Sox to win the wildcard Mike. Its the division or its tee times at the Cape. They now have to get by the Twins and the White Sox (or the Tigers), thats 2 teams that are in the same division that will play each other head to head, meaning very little change in their wildcard positions.
As far as the division goes, at least they have 9 chances head to head to best the team they need to catch. And its only 1 team, not 2.
If they cant beat the Yankees in at least 3 of 5 games this weekend its goodbye wildcard. Then their only hope would be a Yankee collapse which doesnt look all that realistic given the way they have been playing.
