How can the Royals win the AL Central?

The Royals need to win out while the Detroit Tigers need to lose both their weekend games.
The magic number for the Detroit Tigers is 2. Any combination of Tigers wins and Royals losses this weekend adding up to 2 would clinch the division for the Tigers and a date with the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Division Series. The Royals would then play in Tuesday s Wild Card game.
Should the Royals win both weekend games and the Tigers lose once, then a one game tiebreaker would be plapatagonia wetsuits size guide2yed on Monday in Detroit. The winner would advance to play the Orioles while the loser would play in Tuesday s Wild Card game. A quirky note here: patagonia men's reviewsa tiebreaker game is considered a regular season game. Stats would count and both teams would have access to their 40 man rosters. The Tigers have a slightly weaker opponent in the Minnesota Twins than the Royals have in the White Sox (.431 winning percentage for Minnesota, .450 winning percentage for Chicago).
When do the Royals get their first home playoff game in 29 years?
That depends. There s a chance there might not be one.
Let s get this out of the way. Tuesday s game is a one game playoff to determine who will play patagonia wetsuits size guide0the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the Division Series (a best of 5).
Should the Royals win the AL Central either outright or after a one game playoff on Monday, they would play the Orioles in the Division Series. The Royals would have a Game 3 at Kauffman on Sunday, Oct. 5 with the potential for a Game 4 the following night.
The Royals have already clinched a spot, so they re definitely in the playoffs. The Oakland Athletics and Seattle Mariners are fighting for the last remaining wild card spot. The Royals need only win one game this weekend to secure the top wild card spot and host Tuesday s Wild Card game. If the Royals lose both games and Oakland wins both games, they would play Tuesday s Wild Card game in Oakland. The A s opponent this weekend, the Texas Rangers, have a winning percentage of .412.
Should the Royals win Tuesday s Wild Card game, no matter where it s played, they would play the Angels and would have a home game on Sunday, Oct. 5 with the potential for a Game 4 the following night.
