Just saw someone on Twitter link to a potential scenario that would see a 6-way tie for the 2nd AL Wild Card:
Teams: Astros, Twins, Angels, Indians, Orioles, Mariners
Goal: They finish 83-79
Remaining Schedule and Results:
(80-72) Astros: vs Angels (0-1), vs Rangers (2-1), @ Mariners (0-3), @ Diamondbacks (1-2)
(77-73) Twins: vs Indians (1-1), @ Tigers (1-2), @ Indians (2-2), vs Royals (2-1)
(77-74) Angels: @ Astros (1-0), vs Mariners (1-2), vs Athletics (2-1), @ Rangers (2-2)
(74-75) Indians: @ Twins (1-1), @ Royals (2-1), vs Twins (2-2), vs Red Sox (3-0), vs Tigers (1-0)
