I did not know what major league sport begins its playoffs soon. Shame on me.
Indeed. Both the Rangers and Astros are in the playoffs. One or the other will be playing the Twins in Minnesota, depending on the outcome of today's games.
If they both win or lose today, the Rangers will win the division and Houston will play the Twins.
If the Rangers lose and the Astros win, Houston wins the division because it owns the tiebreaker, and the Rangers will get to play the Twins.
Minnesota gets home field advantage, even though both Texas teams have better records.
Theoretically, it is possible that Toronto will be the team going to Minnesota, but I'm not even going to try and explain that one. If that were to happen, one of the Texas teams would go to Tampa Bay.
