Couldn't have asked for a better start (4-2) to this 20 game stretch that will likely define their season.

Just keep stacking wins!!

Meanwhile my Twins have the worst bullpen in MLB since the all star break. Guys who were lights out in the first half can't get anybody out now...

Ya what a stretch 17 of the 20 against teams leading their division.

For the first round bye in MLB playoffs, I know it's AL #1 and AL #2, but do you have to win your division to get that AL #2 spot?

Asking because the top 2 teams are both in the AL East. Hypothetically could the Yankees and Orioles (both AL East) take up both byes?

EDIT forgot that I have google and internet service
This new postseason format was implemented starting with the 2022 season. The two division winners with the best record in each league receive byes to the Division Series.

Hopefully the Royals finish this sweep today at 1210p CST over CLE to take the solo lead in the AL Central.
