5) Magic numbers–

AL East–no simple answer for this one–The Yankees will clinch with 1 win or it could take 2. The Red Sox will clinch with 2 wins, either 2 out of 2 or 2 out of 3 (3rd coming on Monday)
AL Central–White Sox, clinched
AL West–Angels, clinched
AL wild card–again, no simple answer for this one.

NL East–Braves, clinched
NL Central–Cardinals, clinched
NL West–Padres, clinched
NL wild card–Astros, 2

6) Race for the postseason seeds–

AL–The White Sox clinched the #1 seed. The Yankees/Red Sox lead the Angels by 1 game for the #2 seed.

NL–The Cardinals will be the #1 seed. The Braves will be the #2 seed. The Padres will be the #3 seed.

7) The Red Sox tied the Yankees for 1st place in the AL East.

A Hardball Times Update
by RJ McDaniel
Goodbye for now.

8) The Yankees will clinch the division title if they beat the Red Sox and the White Sox beat the Indians.

The Yankees would clinch at least a tie for 1st place. It would also ensure that, in case of a Yankees/Red Sox tie, both teams would go to the postseason. In that case, the Yankees would win the division title by virtue of winning the season series.

9) The Astros will clinch the wild card if they beat the Cubs and the Phillies lose to the Nationals.

10) The Royals set a team record with 105 losses, breaking the mark set in 2004.

11) The Mets clinched a winning record for the 1st time since 2001.

12) The Marlins tied the Nationals for 4th place in the NL East.

Correction from yesterday–The Devil Rays did not finish last every year in team history. They didn’t do it in 2004.

1) The Devil Rays bought out the final year of manager Lou Piniella’s contract.

2) A’s 3B Eric Chavez will probably have offseason shoulder surgery and says that, if the team didn’t turn things around, he could have had the surgery around midseason.

I am now taking orders for the next edition of the sabermetric baseball encyclopedia. The estimated starting shipping date is October 12 and the encyclopedias will be shipped on a first come, first served basis.
The encyclopedia can be ordered at http://www.baseball-encyclopedia.com

“Lee Sinins’ Sabermetric Encyclopedia is best reason yet developed to own a computer. I think I must own a copy of every baseball encyclopedia there is or ever was, and occasionally I find that I still need to pull out one of the others, but not very often; the Sabermetric Encyclopedia covers 97% of my needs. Whether I’m working or playing, calculating or daydreaming, the Sabermetric Encyclopedia pops up to help out. I turn it on in the morning; I turn it off when the house is on fire. Otherwise, I’m using it.”–Bill James
