Oakland A’s, Los Angeles Angels: Save the Drama For Your Mama

At the All Star break, which is now 4 days long, the Oakland A’s and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, both in the A.L. West, have the two best records in baseball.

What could have turned into a stirring race manifesting in first place or “go home,” now has so much less drama.

The reason is because in all likelihood, the second place team in the very likely A’s/Angels battle for first place, will be one of two American League wild card teams.

At the moment the A’s have a one and a half game lead over the Angels.

In turn, the Angels have a nine game lead for playoff qualification. It is not very far I wander “on the limb” to predict each will be in the baseball tournament.
