This is what will probably happen

[fan_since79]

The Angels will get one of the two wild card spots. We're 4.5 games ahead of Seattle and six games in front of their nearest pursuer, Kansas City. So, we've got a six game cushion right now in the wild card race.

 

Seattle will get the other wild card, and we'll face off against Felix Hernandez in a one-game playoff to see who moves on. Hopefully, we'll have a better record than the Mariners and get to play the game in Anaheim, where we've been brilliant this year.

 

If we win, we'll face Oakland in the first round of the divisional series, assuming they maintain their league-best record. Wild card teams can play against teams in their division under the new format. The A's will host Games 1, 2, and (if necessary) Game 5. 

 

Just looking ahead at a very possible scenario...

Thanks Miss Cleo. They should just cancel the rest of the season.

Felix has good and bad days against the Angels.

Jaso 3hr 9rbi in the series

[tdawg87]

I just....I really want to win the division.

 

God damn I hate the A's so much.

Haha, he was lifted for a pinch-hitter today, Norris, who flied out. Then Vogt hit a 2-run single to break the game open.

 

The A's are deep.

I should have qualified my original post...

 

"assuming the Angels are a wild card"

 

I too want to win the division.

Doubt it since we got rid of Frieri now.

Facing Felix in a 1 game playoff?

I don't like those odds. 

[hats4bats]

so deep

mmmmmm

[Corona]

Yeah not down with possibly winning 95+ games and having to face Felix in a one game playoff. We need to handle business against Oakland.

[eaterfan]

Mariners might not get the chance to set their rotation if they are being chased hard.

[stormngt]

Relax boys there is a lot of baseball left.

God damn I hate the A's so much.

 

Hate is a bit strong but yeah I would really like to win the division.

[Chuck]

LOL...

Can we just play OGAAT and enjoy this season? (it has been fun to watch)...

There's nothing to see through your murky crystal ball.

+1....Both teams could be scrambling...who knows at this point...

[nate]

One game playoffs against Seattle always go well.

[Redondo]

We will probably have a better record than the East and Central winners to boot.

[wopphil]

Mariners might not get the chance to set their rotation if they are being chased hard.

Exactly. No guarantee whatsoever that Felix throws. And frankly, I am not buying them winning a wild card berth.

[Sherlock31]

Well even if this actuelly happens, the way the boys play this year in the Big A, I don't care who is on the mound I still like our chances.

[HaloMagic]

Doubt it since we got rid of Frieri now.

Jepsen is still here.
