The Rays lost to the Seattle Mariners 6-2 today at Tropicana Field and since ESPN is apparently required by federal law to show the Yankees and Red Sox as a national game at every possible opportunity (seriously, how is that a better, more intriguing match-up than Giants-Rockies or even Reds-Padres?), there will be no movement on the Magic Numbers (well, for the Rays) until much, much later. But here’s the up-to-the-minute status anyway…
MAGIC NUMBERS:
Rays: Wild Card = 2, Division = 6
Yankees: Wild Card = 3, Division = 9
