AL playoff race/great show ahead!!!!

Boston and the Chisox are definitely screwed with schedule from here on in. I don't consider anyone on the West a gimme game, I reserve that status for KC, Cleveland, Tampa, and Baltimore. The Sox have 17 games against those teams as opposed to Minny's 27 and Yankees 27 games against those teams.
Chisox have 23 games against those teams.
Breaks down like this in "easy games" with KC, Tampa, Cleveland, and Baltimore:
Twins 27 games left
Yankees 27 games left
White Sox 23 games left
Boston 17 games left

I think in a 4 team race thats only 3 games apart that schedule makes a huge difference with only 64 games left. Boston plays a much harder schedule that the other teams do.
