The Tigers led the AL in playoff probability improvement with a +18 percentage point week. They were 5-2 with quality wins over the Yankees and potential Wild Card competitor Boston. The Tigers rise also took a -10.8 percentage point chunk out of the Twins’ chances who despite their grand-slam off of Mariano Rivera still finished just 2-3 this week. Despite the down week the Twins are still heavy 73 percent favorites to win the AL Central. Both teams benefit from lackluster efforts so far from the White Sox, Royals and Indians.
The Angels had a good 4-2 week and more than doubled their playoff chances, but considering they are still 3 games under .500 they still have under a 15 percent chance. The rest of the AL West was amazingly stable this week with no team rising or falling more than a couple of percentage points.
