Everything is still on the table for the Cleveland Guardians. They could snag the third wild-card berth and qualify for the postseason as the American League’s No. 6 seed. They could win the AL Central. They could earn a first-round bye, with an automatic ticket to the AL Division Series. They could miss the playoffs altogether.Only 15 games remain in the regular season, yet the Guardians have solved little. They’ve followed a two-steps-forward-and-then-two-steps-back routine for about three months now.As of Thursday evening, FanGraphs gave the Guardians a 57.9 percent chance of making the playoffs, a 30.6 percent chance to win the division and a 27.3 percent chance to claim the last wild-card spot.AL Central standings1.

If the White Sox win any of the three games at Progressive Field, they’ll claim the tiebreaker, and the Guardians would have to finish with a better record to win the Central. Of the teams’ 10 meetings so far this season, three have included walk-offs, six have been decided by one run and two have been decided by two runs.Why hasn’t Cleveland deployed a six-man rotation like last September?The schedule, for one. The Guardians, including Thursday’s reprieve, have three off days in the final 2 1/2 weeks, which allows them to shuffle their rotation how they see fit. They can try to keep Parker Messick fresh as he piles up a career high in innings. They can squeeze more starts out of Gavin Williams. They can skip Joey Cantillo or use an opener or cobble together a bullpen game without fear of burning out their relievers ahead of a long stretch of games.
