As of tonight, the Detroit Tigers (76-36) have 50 games left to play in the regular season.
If the Tigers only win half of their upcoming games, and the White Sox and Twins each win two-thirds of theirs, the Tigers will still end up one game ahead of the AL Central with a 101-61 record.
If the Tigers win only one-third of their remaining games, and the Sox and Twins each go 25-25, the Tigers end up on top again by one game with a 93-69 record.
If they stay on the same second-half pace (17-7, or .708) they will tie the regular season win record of 116 games (Cubs in 1906; Mariners in 2001).
They need to win 29 of the last 50 (or .580) to set a team record of 105 wins (breaking 1984’s 104-win record).
And now back to doing something useful….
