Tight AL Wild Card

AL Wild Card:         Games Back:     Last 10 Games:
Boston Red Sox               -                        3-7
Tampa Bay Rays              2                        4-6
Los Angeles Angels          3                        5-5

As you can see, all three of these teams are limping towards the playoffs, especially the Red Sox. Plagued by injuries, the Red Sox have been awful in the month of September losing 16 games. That happens to be a  record for the team. After having a 9 game lead on the Rays just a month ago, the Red Sox have let  them back into it especially after losing 3 of 4  at home to them last week. The Red Sox were suppose to have it easy the rest of the season playing the last place Orioles 7 out of the remaining 10 games. Well, their first series just ended and the Orioles won 3 out of 4 as well so the Red Sox are really searching for answers. Maybe they should try to fix their pitching as the teams ERA in the month of September has been 6.38. With football kicking into main gear, baseball has been pushed aside the last few weeks. I would suggest following the these three teams the remainder of the season as every game will be extremely crucial. Hold on tight ladies and gentlemen!

Red Sox Remaining Schedule: (3 at NYY), (3 at BAL)
Rays Remaining Schedule: (3 vs TOR), (3 vs NYY)
Angels Remaining Schedule: (3 vs OAK), (3 vs TEX) 

 Red Sox slugger David Ortiz has been one of many Red Sox players battling injuries at the end of this season.
