According to an analysis on
MLB.com, the Red Sox—as they enter the final month of the regular season—have
an 86.6% chance of making the playoffs. The analysis also shows that
The Carmine Hose have a 51.0% chance of getting one of the two
Wild Card slots and a 35.5% chance to capture the "gonfalon" and win the
AL East title outright. Not surprisingly, the Blue Jays (at 94.1%) have the
best chance of making what
Bill Parcells used to call 'the tournament', while
The Evil Ones (unfortunately) still have a 5.1% shot at October baseball.
