Cleveland close to clinching

[motownwebguy]

Is it that time already? They have 21 games to play, currently holding a 15.5 games lead in the AL Central.
Boston will likely be the 2nd team to clinch a division title early. Seattle may not get-in to the October dance. Hot St Louie neither.

Looks to me Boston is on the verge of clinching at least one of the wild card spots.

Baltimore sitting @ 41-100....closer to the '03 Tigers, than any other AL team has managed since, although its very unlikely that the '18 O's will tie or surpass their embarrassing record of futility @ 43-119 with 21 games remaining.

538 currently predicting the O's finishing @ 48-114, and the Tigers a whole game better than last season @ 67-95!

We are trending for a #6 pick in the 2019 Amateur Draft. I'm fine with that. I originally thought we would lose 108 games this season. Our overall pitching's done better than I expected.

I'd also be happy with a #14 or 15-pick in 2020.

Will Cleveland be clinching against the Tigers this weekend? I would have to say YUP
