Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand Tuesday, September 18, 2018Who’s in and who’s out of the MLB postseason?
This is largely stuff that’s fairly self-evident, I admit, but, as long as we still have several good races running in the National League, we might as well have an independent space to discuss them…. QLE

1. puck Posted: September 18, 2018 at 10:19 AM (#5746342)Rockies are back to a negative run difference after Monday's loss.
Trevor Story left the game with elbow discomfort. That will hurt a lot if he has to miss more games.
The AL is all but over. Unfortunately for Oakland they are done with the Astros so that 4 game lead is big. Houston finishes with Toronto and Baltimore which is not great for Oakland's chances.
*Yes, I know about 2016. Shut up.
A's are never out. They had a 4-game deficit after 150 games back in 2012 and made it up. Of course a lot of that was due to the lackluster play of the Rangers, but the Astros could plausibly become complacent and suffer a similar collapse.
Not only that, 7 of the Phillies and Braves' last 12 games are against each other. The Phillies will probably be 7 games back by the time this weekend starts. So they have a chance! But they've only swept one series since May.
A collapse is always possible, but I have been following that team, and I cannot see Altuve/Verlander allowing complacency to set in.
I always assume a team is a legit contender, if they can win by sweeping the teams ahead of them. When it requires other people to help out... I look at 'if they go .800 and the other team goes .500 or one game below .500.... do they make it? (ignoring head to head games, which I assume the chasing team wins)
