If my math is correct, if Boston wins out and Baltimore loses out, Baltimore will set a Modern Era record by finishing 66 games back, beating the 1909 Boston Doves by half a game, and the AL record 1939 St. Louis Browns 64.5 by 1.5 games. The playoff era record - Detroit 2003, a measly 47 GB? Shattered.
The all time record, set by the egregious Cleveland Spiders in 1899 - 84 GB - is out of reach. Better luck next year, Orioles!
Almost makes me want to root for the Red Sox for the rest of the year.
