SEPTEMBER 27

With only one game remaining in the regular season, the Twins are 87-74, in first place, half a game up on the White Sox in the Central Division. Their Magic Number is 2.
What this means:
A Twins win tomorrow against the Royals ensures at least a one-game playoff for the pennant. Coupled with a White Sox loss, it means the Twins' fifth postseason appearance since 2002. If both teams win, or both teams lose, or if the Twins lose and Sox win, Chicago plays a makeup game against the Tigers on Monday to decide the Twins' fate. If they lose, we're in. If they win, we play off on the South Side on Tuesday.
