Does it matter? Both players were injured. Both players played or playing hurt. Both of their numbers dipped.

It feels like we're going to win the last 7 games of the year and probably miss out by a game somehow.
TBQH looking at schedules it's not inconceivable that if someone sweeps the Sox/Rays series this weekend that they could sneak in. Detroit seems pretty safe (they close with the White Sox), but looking at the Royals and Twins, they've got tough series to end the year playing Atlanta and Baltimore. Still, making up 3.5 games with 5 to play is not a likely outcome.

It's giving me that final game vs the Orioles when we lost out on the final spot many years ago vibes.
That 8 game losing streak while the Royals did the same thing is where the season was lost, imo
