MLB's postseason picture is becoming clearer by the day, but a couple division races are still yet to be determined, including, improbably, the race for the American League Central title between the Tigers and Guardians. The Guardians, 15 1/2 games back of the first-place Tigers and fresh off of getting swept in a three-game series by Detroit, had no reason to dream about October baseball as the MLB schedule headed for the All-Star break. But just two months later, Cleveland is in the midst of one of the most impressive comebacks baseball has ever seen in a division race, as the club erased a that entire deficit—which was still 12 1/2 games exactly a month ago—to pull even with the Tigers for a first-place tie in the AL Central in the season's final week.
Should the Guardians ultimately end up taking the Central, it will undoubtedly go down as one of the most impressive comebacks, and, unfortunately for the Tigers, one of the biggest blown division leads in the history of the sport.
