In the American League, .500 is the dividing line. All teams above .500 are within a game of a playoff spot. The 8 teams below .500 have a lot of traffic in front of them, but no one has an insurmountable deficit based on their current record. There is still half a season to play.
Today, we asked people if anyone from below the current .500 club (Angels, Athletics, Blue Jays, Mariners, Orioles, Rangers, Tigers, White Sox) could claim a playoff spot in the American League.
