Minnesota (76-80) are third in the standings, and it's safe to say that they're out of the playoff race. They have had a poor 3-7 run in their last ten games. They are way ahead of the Tigers and Royals, who are in fourth and fifth place respectively. The Twins can be assured of third spot, but and would like to improve on their recent performances that cost them a wildcard place.
Meanwhile, with an amazing recent run (8-2), the Tigers have replaced the Royals in fourth place. Even though they still need to fight to keep that spot, their good form has given them something to cheer about. This is an interesting string of results after a disastrous season. The Tigers would like to keep their run going with a Game 1 win over the Twins.
The three-game series will be an interesting one for all neutral fans. There's hardly anything on the line for both teams, as their season is already over. All they can do now is to entertain their fans, and make the series exciting.
