TORONTO - The Minnesota Twins lost to the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.
Therefore, wisdom said, the Blue Jays’ magic number for clinching a wild-card berth was down to one win or one loss by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Just after midnight our wise desker, Donald Duench, discovered that:
The worst the Blue Jays can do is finish with 74 losses.
The Astros (74 losses) and Angels (74 losses) would need to win all their remaining games to finish tied with Toronto. However, the Astros have two games left against Texas, and the Angels have four games left against Texas.
