MLB owners say low-payroll teams can't compete without a cap. The White Sox, Guardians, and Rays are about to prove that's a lie in October.
Two years after a modern-record 121 losses, the White Sox are 4-0 in October and one win from their first ALCS since 2005. Nobody outside Chicago noticed.
Cleveland is 20-9 since August 20, the best stretch in baseball, and it might not be enough to win the AL Central. Here's the tiebreaker math nobody explains.
Half a game separates the Cubs from losing a wild card spot. The Guardians are barely above .500 and still in. Judge is back and so is the AL East fight.
Colorado is officially eliminated from the 2026 playoff race. Run the same games-back math on the rest of MLB and a couple more teams are basically dead too.
Everyone says the AL wild card is a chaotic seven-team pileup while the NL is basically settled. The actual games-back numbers tell a different story entirely.
