MLB: Twins Still Charging… Braves Charging Too

Posted on | September 26, 2009 | No Comments

Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like we have a race in the National League again. The Atlanta Braves have moved themselves into position to challenge the Colorado Rockies for the Wild Card in the NL. But first let’s take a look at the Minnesota Twins as they continue to bare down on the American League Central leading Detroit Tigers.

The Minnesota Twins continue to play great baseball. At this point they are a runaway train. And the Detroit Tigers are on the tracks looking like they’re about to get run over.

The Tigers did lose last night. They gave up just 2 hits but couldn’t score any runs. That ended a 4 game winning streak for the Tigers. So they aren’t playing bad ball right now. But if they want to be 2 games up (because that’s all they are right now) when they host Minnesota for a 4 game series this week then they better plan on winning the final 2 games of their series against the White Sox.

Because it doesn’t look like the Twins are going to lose very much the rest of this season. If they roll into Detroit just a game back or less then the Tigers may find themselves losing their 4 game series. Then they’ll be on the outside looking in. And the Twins will be on a great roll heading to New York. Look out Yankees!

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Braves are making things very interesting in the NL Wild Card race. They are now just 3 games in back of the Rockies. With the Braves set to finish their season with a 4 game series against the lowly Nationals and the Rockies having to play against the St. Louis Cardinals right now and then the Los Angeles Dodgers to close the season, the Rockies have to be sweating.

Look out, there is a decent chance that both the Twins and the Braves could make unbelievable runs right into the post season.
