Do the Rangers make it in if they are in third in their division? I am not really up on the playoff rules, but it looks like they are fading fast.







Again.

If they finish ahead of the Blue Jays and Red Socks in the standings, then yes, they will play a three game series at Target Field in Minneapolis for the right to face the winner of the AL West in the ALDS.

The Twins have not won a playoff game since the administration of William Howard Taft (details approx.), so the odds would be in the Rangers' favor.

Thanks for the info, but Kirby Puckett might have disagreed with you on the odds of that one.

Wonder what Manfred and the MLB brass are plotting for September to try and get at least one of their darlings (Yanks/Red Sox) in to the playoffs? If neither make it, all we will hear in the off-season is how the ratings are down and no one likes baseball anymore.

Well, the Twins have won a World Series more recently than the Rangers...

Fact: no team that has let Joey Gallo leave has won a World Series since His departure.

Twins had better pay attention.
