That would be something if it was L.A. vs. Chicago in the ALCS and the NLCS.

Few could have expected this outcome, which has seen the team go from worst to first. The highest finish the Rays had prior to this season came in 2004, when they won 70 games during a fourth-place campaign.

being the optimist, to clinch the division outright...

Minnesota 10. Would need help from Cleveland and perhaps Detroit.

Good idea. Just keep in mind that it is not just wins by the team ahead, but losses by the trailing team, too
