Seems crazy to me that if we swept the Yankees, we'd still be in the hunt for the division. 

That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.

How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting.

The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense.

I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

Tigers lost

Guardians lost, which looks like locks NYY #1, CLE #2.

Do the Indians have the tiebreaker over the Yankees?

No, Yankees had it, which probably helped MLB make the decision to cancel HOU-CLE.  

Guardians and Astros, looking at a rematch if the Astros can survive the Tigers, probably glad not to have to step through a meaningless one on a messy field.
