Standings
Red Sox 90-71 —
Rays 90-71 —

Schedule for Wednesday
Red Sox (Lester 15-9, 3.49) at Orioles (Simon 4-9, 4.85), 7:05 p.m.

Yankees (TBA) at Rays (Price 12-13, 3.35), 7:10 p.m.

Notes: Yankees manager Joe Girardi really has yet to name a starter. It seems like they will use their relievers and call-ups spread out over the game. ... If the teams are still tied after tonight, there will be a one-game play-in game on Thursday at Tampa Bay at 4:07 p.m. ... If there is a winner, that team will travel to Texas or Detroit for Game 1 of the Division Series on Friday. ... The National League wild card is tied, too. The Braves and Cardinals are locked up at 89-72. The Braves host the Phillies and the Cardinals are at the Astros. Their play-in game, if needed, would be Thursday at 8:07 p.m.
