And with that the sweep is complete, and the Sox’s magic number in the division goes to 5 and the magic number to get to the postseason is 4. Holy Buckets, this is really gonna happen this year…
The Cubs have clinched and have been awarded home-field advantage for the NLDS. I knew they did well this year, but WOW, they annihilated the rest of their division. St Louis was 17 games behind and Cincinnati was 34(!!!) games behind. With their 97-55 record, they are the best in all of baseball by a margin of SEVEN games (Texas is 2nd with 90-63).
