First things first. The Mariners are still technically alive to win the division. The Astros are five games up with six games left. If the Mariners win out, and Houston either loses out or wins just one game, they could still win the division. That would actually lead to a one-game playoff to figure out who gets the division title, but I’m not gonna go down that road today. It’s possible, but it’s the most unlikely thing we’re looking at today.
Instead, I want to look at what would happen if there was a giant tiebreaker that occurred, with as many teams as possible tying for the Wild Card spots.
