A little while ago, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays, 7-5, thereby giving your New York Yankees the American League East crown.
Oh, I know that they're still maintaining that the magic number is 1. It isn't, not really.
The Rays are now 10 games behind the Bronx Behemoths, with 10 to play. The Yankees own the tiebreaker, having beaten TB 12 games out of 17.
Therefore, the Rays would have to win all 10 of their remaining games, the Yankees would have to lose all 10 of their remaining games, AND the two other wild card contenders would have to win so many games that the team which is NOT the East Division winner, would either not qualify for the playoffs, or would be forced into a tie-breaking, play-in game to the play-in game.
In which case, the Yanks and Rays would have to play a one-game playoff, and then the loser would have to play either one or both of the other wild card contenders, in another playoff.
Got all that? Good. Here's an easier way to look at it:
We win! Break out the bubbly.
Whew. The suspense was killing me.
