Umm, what?

Poor math skills at ESPN:

Let me try to explain this with some brevity: The short answer is that the White Sox won via a tiebreaker. The White Sox have not clinched the division's best record, but they have clinched the division title. Still confused? If the Indians manage to sweep the White Sox this weekend, both teams will finish the season with 96-66 records, leaving them tied atop the standings. But with both teams guaranteed a postseason berth -- either the Yankees or the Red Sox will necessarily finish with fewer than 96 -- who wins the Central is relevant only when it comes to postseason seeding.

Let's see now - the standings have the Yankees at 94 wins, with three games to go. So - if they swept the Sox, they would end up with 97 wins. Which, last time I checked, was a bigger number than 96. And how are the Indians "guaranteed" a post season slot? If they end up tied with the East division second place team, then it comes down to tie-breakers (and if that's a wash, a one game playoff). They could end up being swept, and completely out of it. How he gets to the Indians being guaranteed a slot? I have no clue...
