We’d be 1.5 back, meaning we’d have to sweep KC at home, and hope the Sox don’t sweep the Indians — and the Indians have been playing really well lately. If we take 2 of 3 from the Sox then sweep KC, and the Sox take 2 of 3 from the Indians, then the Sox have to play Detroit and if they lose, we get to play them in a one game playoff.

That’s not a desirable solution at all, but it’s at least possible.
