Red Sox's Limp Play Exposes MLB's Awful Playoff Format
Briefly

The Red Sox maintain a 10.7% playoff chance, thanks mainly to a possible sweep of the Twins, but this odds feel undeserved given their poor performance.
Their mediocre performance this season, coupled with the triple Wild Card format, has obscured the reality where only truly bad teams get eliminated early.
The team has the third-worst record since the All-Star break, with starting pitching that has been disappointing and a bullpen struggling significantly.
I find it frustrating that the owners have created a surreal limbo in which a lack of quality play still keeps the postseason hopes alive.
