AL Playoff Bloodbath Just Got Messier

Three of the best teams in baseball—Rays, Yankees, Red Sox—are all stuck in the same damn bracket. Only one gets to the ALCS. The winner of Yankees-Red Sox faces Tampa in the Division Series, and the Rays are built to slaughter whoever limps out of that series. 

Meanwhile, Cleveland just stole first place in the AL Central with a win over Chicago. That means Tampa and Cleveland get the byes, while Houston draws the White Sox and the Yankees get the Red Sox in a three-game wild-card series. 

Bottom line: The Guardians just bought themselves a week off while the three best teams in the league beat each other’s brains in. If you’re betting, take the under on whoever survives that gauntlet.
