Oklahoma City
Oklahoma City is currently in first place with a magic number of two to eliminate Albuquerque and clinch the division. They have 7 games left to play. The magic number to eliminate Round Rock now stands at one. Albuquerque and Round Rock play again tonight. If Round Rock beats Albuquerque and Oklahoma City wins its game against Nashville, Oklahoma City will clinch tonight. Otherwise, it can't happen until Wednesday. Despite Nashville having the worst record in the Pacific Coast League and the RedHawks having the best home record in the league, the RedHawks lost to Nashville at home last night.
Corpus Christi - In Playoffs (Won first half; tied for lead in second half)
The Hooks are in the playoffs by virtue of winning the first half of the season. The schedule for the first four games has already been set with the first two against San Antonio at home on Wednesday, September 4th and Thursday, September 5th and the next two at San Antonio on that Friday and Saturday. The Hooks play the Missions three more times over their last 7 games. With Monday's win against the Missions, the Hooks moved into a tie with them for the second half title. The Hooks lead the Missions by three and a half games for the season.
Lancaster - In Playoffs (Won first half and second half)
The JetHawks are also in the playoffs by virtue of winning the first half and have clinched the second half title as well. The schedule for the first four games has been set with Lancaster playing at home on Saturday, September 7th and Sunday, September 8th (and will be attended by yours truly) and on the road the following Monday and Tuesday. What is still to be determined is the JetHawks opponent. They will play the winner of a mini-series between the #2 and #3 seeds.
Quad Cities - In Playoffs
Quad Cities became the third Astros minor league affiliate to clinch a playoff spot with Sunday's win over Burlington. The first playoff game is scheduled for September 4th at Modern Woodmen Park against either Beloit or Cedar Rapids.
Tri-City
The ValleyCats have two ways to make it to the playoffs. They are currently in first place, four games ahead of second place Lowell with 10 games left to play. The magic number to eliminate Lowell is 6 (1 to eliminate Connecticut). If they fall out of first place, they could potentially earn a wild card berth. Their current record puts them in second place for a wild card if they weren't winning their division. They lost their first game last night after having won five games in a row and have two games left to play against Lowell. Lowell has lost four in a row.
Greeneville
The Astros need to be in first or second place in their division to make the playoffs. They are currently in first place, a half game ahead of Kingsport, two and a half games ahead of third place Elizabethton and three games ahead of fourth place Johnson City with four games left to play. All of the teams in the divsision won on Monday. The magic number to eliminate Elizabethton is three, four for Johnson City. Greeneville can clinch one of the two playoff spots as early as tonight if they win and both Elizabethton and Johnson City lose.
GCL Astros - Eliminated
The GCL club has been eliminated from playoff contention. They are 26-31 with three games left. They are the only Astros affiliate that will end the 2013 season with a losing record.
DSL Astros - Eliminated
The DSL team was also eliminated from contention. They ended their season on Saturday with another win to cap off a four-game win streak and a 39-31 record for the season.
