If you're rooting for tiebreaker games, the basic key today is Texas has to lose. If they do, Houston will be playing in a tiebreaker game tomorrow either way. Houston wins and they'll tie Texas for the AL West, if Houston loses they'll drop into a tie with the Angels for the WC.

edit: Just noticed that its not possible for TEX to tie NYY for the 1st wild card spot, so got rid of that scenario. If Texas falls that far, even if New York loses, Texas will have also lost a 163rd game. edit2: Apparently the tiebreaker game does not count for seeding, its only used to figure out who won the division and who gets the last wild card.
