The weirdest thing to me so far is that every team in the American League is still technically at least in wild card contention. The worst teams, the Chicago White Sox and the the Oakland A's, are 7.5 games out. Obviously, their chances are little better than slim, but one consequence is that teams that might be sellers at this point don't really know what to do. Do teams like Baltimore and Detroit give up and unload at the deadline, or do they bet that their underperformers like Miguel Cabrera and Manny Machado will pick it up in the second half and all they really need is to get some improved pitching to get back in it?
