While that does sound intriguing, I'd be worried about having too much time off and losing any mojo we'd have.
The problem is that practically any other scenario would involve the Orioles being tied for the 2nd wild card, which is even worse. If we do want to play Detroit for the most favorable match-up as soon as possible (i.e. without having to wait for another tiebreaker game to finish first), the following needs to happen:
- Baltimore wins at least 1 of the last 3 games: 88-74 or better
- Detroit goes 3-1 in the last 4 games: 88-74
- Toronto goes 0-3 in the last 3 games: 87-75
- Seattle loses at least one of the last 4 games: 87-75 or worse
