August

Let's take a look at the Twins schedule in August. I'll assume the Twins will go into August back 3.5 games.

Indians (2-1)
Mariners/Royals (5-1)
Yankees (1-2)
Mariners/Athletics (5-1)
Angels/Mariners/Athletics (6-4)

19 wins 9 losses

Lots of games against a "major league baseball team" from Seattle. Good thing.

How about the White Sox in August?

Royals (2-1)
Tigers (2-1)
Red Sox (1-3)
Royals (2-1)
Mariners/Athletics (5-1)
Rays (2-1)
Orioles (2-2)
Red Sox (0-3)

16 wins 13 losses

The White Sox play real teams like the Red Sox.

Looks like the Twins should be even at the end of August.

His name is Liriano. Get there.
