Twins (43-36)
Tigers (38-40)
Indians (36-43)

I gave the Tigers a little higher odds than record indicate because they got off to a horrible 0-7 start to season, but have played better recently and have arguably the best lineup in all of baseball.

Taking a look at the remainder of August and September, it looks like Minnesota has a much easier schedule. They play the same teams except the following...
CHW: BOS, BOS, DET, CLE
MIN: SEA, SEA, OAK, KCR
In other words, CHW plays BOS for two more series than MIN, plus an extra series against DET and CLE. On the other hand, MIN plays SEA for two more series than CHW, plus a series against OAK and KCR. Given a choice, I'd much rather have MIN's schedule down the stretch.
Don't forget that MIN just called up some guy named Liriano.
