HFA might not be so meaningless when you're a 40-41 team on the road despite playing in the easiest division in baseball.

I guess we blew our load last night.
Not a single run tonight.

Is there reason to believe that those splits aren't just statistical variation? Do they have players who would naturally benefit from Turner field in a way they don't benefit from other parks, for example?

The Reds are now saying Mat Latos has a "sore elbow" and that's why Cueto is pitching the Wild Card game on Tuesday.

Let's go Tribe, one more win and we're in! Wouldn't mind the Home game for the WC either.

In order for AL Wild Card insanity to happen:
-- Twins have to beat the Indians
-- Rangers have to beat the Angels
-- Rays have to beat the Blue Jays
-- Twins have to beat the Indians
-- Rangers have to beat the Angels
-- Rays have to beat the Blue Jays

MLB announces tiebreaker scheduling:
-- If the Rangers and Rays finish tied for Wild Card #2, they play the tiebreaker Monday night at 8:07pm ET in Texas.
-- If there is a three-way tie, the Rays will play the Indians in Cleveland for the Wild Card #1 tiebreaker at 4:07pm ET on Monday. The loser would then travel to Texas to play the Wild Card #2 tiebreaker at 4:07pm ET on Tuesday.
All tiebreaker games would be shown on TBS.

Well, the Blue Jays got their check from Selig I see!
Make sure the check clears for the Angels and the Indians too. The Twins can't be trusted to do anything right.

I'm sure one can run something like a t-test between their road winning percentage and overall winning percentage to see if there's a statistically significant difference. Accounting for strength of opponent would be messy though.
Simply eyeballing it leads me to believe it's probably not just random fluctuation but I could be wrong. Too lazy to do the math on a Sunday morning.

With the scheduling it's entirely probable the Rays would do this:
-- Fly from Toronto to Cleveland for a tiebreaker
-- If they lose, fly from Cleveland to Dallas for a tiebreaker
-- If they win, fly back to Cleveland from Dallas for the Wild Card game
-- If they win, fly from Cleveland to Boston for ALDS Game 1
All in one week. Boston would feast on them.

Losing today should seal their second protected pick. Considering they've choked when it's mattered most all year, hopefully they don't stage a dramatic comeback.

Gattis is going to finish with 21+ homers this year, despite his playing time getting very disrupted with McCann coming back and an oblique injury.

Oh look, Tampa showed up today.

Indians already winning. Shit.

Matheny just took out Molina for no reason other than an ovation. Take more out.
Swisher's home run was hit after a clear strike 3 was called a ball. The Twins are super shitty, the umps don't need to make it harder for them to win. I want chaos god dammit.

Good start

The Cards starting pitcher kinda tipped me off.
Yeah the umps have your guys' back pretty good this series!Good start

They do. That call at home yesterday was garbage.

Maybe the Cardinals feel like they match up better with the Dodgers rather than a Wild Card winner from their own division?
Henderson Alvarez of the Marlins has a no-hitter against the Tigers through 7 innings. The only base runner was from an error by Adeiny Hecchavarria.

The only team that wants to lose this game more than the Cards is the Cubs. You think any of the Cubs players give 1/10th of 1 shit about this season anymore? It's golf time bros!
Kelly didn't get the memo I guess.

I don't think actually playing at home means much. Now playing the wild card winner or the dodgers and Kershaw and Grinke is a big reason to win these games.

Boo, good chance to tack on there. 2-0 Bottom of the 3rd now.

Didn't the Braves win 5 out of 7 against LA? Or were those before their "resurgence"?
I fear the Dodgers the most but the Pirates aren't far behind. Reds are a distant fourth though on playoff teams I worry about.
watch them go on a postseason tear now to make me eat my words
