There is still a lot of baseball to be played, but we're in the thick of it at the end of August.
Both Tampa Bay lost and Detroit is losing, so that helps widen the tiny gap in the wild card race. But we have 7 games against the Yankees in the next 10 games, so we can make a legitimate push for the AL East crown. I don't think there is any way we take all 7, but I think we can go 4-3 or even 5-2.
Here's a look of the remaining series for the O's, Yankees, Rays and A's (including them for the wild card race)
Orioles
@NYY(3), @Toronto(3), NYY(4), Rays(3), @A's(3), @Mariners(3), @BoSox(3), Jays(4), BoSox(3), @Rays(3)
Yankees
O's(3), @Rays(3), @O's(4), @BoSox(3), Rays(3), Jays(3), A's(3), @Twins(3), @Jays(4), BoSox(3)
Rays
@Jays(3), NYY(3), Texas(3), @O's(3), @Yankees(3), BoSox(4), Jays(3), @BoSox(2), @White Sox (4), O's(3)
Athletics
BoSox(3), Angels(3), @M's(3), @Angels (4), O's(3), @Detroit(3), @NYY(3), @Texas(4), M's(3), Texas(3)
Just from looking at the remaining schedule, I'd say that the A's have the toughest road followed closely by the Rays. The Yankees slate actually looks pretty easy. We have a rough stretch the next 16 games or so, but I still think it goes A's > Rays > O's > Yanks.
