In the last two weeks of the regular season, every contender in Major League Baseball will be hoping for things to go their way. The league's contenders will take as many lucky bounces and heroes as they can get.
Oh, and hold the goats, please.
We know from recent history and baseball history in general that the baseball gods tend to make it up as they go along in September. Sometimes they bless certain teams. Sometimes they curse teams. All teams can do is hope for blessings.
In the American League, the eight contenders still fighting for postseason berths are hoping that the baseball gods can find it in their hearts to at least bless certain parts of their teams. All eight teams have at least one "wild card" that could greatly alter their postseason hopes one way or the other.
Here's a look at each AL contender's biggest wild card for the stretch run.
