Welcome to a short feature that we'll have up every morning through the end of the season - or as long as the Twins remain in contention for a Wild Card spot. We'll highlight the standings, what's occurring, and we'll have a look at the games for the contenders that day. But we will in no way attempt to curse our favorite baseball team.
Let's get going.
Standings, 9/23/2015
| Wild Card Teams | W | L | PCT | WCGB | E# | L10 | STRK |
| New York Yankees | 83 | 67 | .553 | +4.0 | - | 6-4 | W1 |
| Houston Astros | 80 | 72 | .526 | - | - | 4-6 | L1 |
| Minnesota Twins | 77 | 73 | .513 | 2.0 | 10 | 4-6 | W2 |
| Los Angeles Angels | 77 | 74 | .510 | 2.5 | 9 | 5-5 | W1 |
Yesterday
Twins: WIN, 3-1
Astros: LOSS, 4-3
Angels: WIN, 4-3
The Angels beating the Astros works in Minnesota's favor as it puts the Twins within two games of Houston. It also means that Los Angeles keeps pace, just a half game behind the Twins, but that's better than the alternative. Whether Minnesota wins or loses today
