<![CDATA[If the playoff started today 8/21]]>I do this for the NFL on a weekly basis. I will do it here for MLB as well. If the playoffs started today, here is who would be in:

American League:

East: Boston 74-54, or Tampa Bay 72-52

Central: Detroit 73-52

West: Texas 73-53

Wildcards: Boston or TB whichever doesn't win East, and Oakland 71-54

In the Hunt: Indians 68-58 (3.5 games behind Oak.), Orioles 67-58, Yankees 66-59, Royals 64-60

National League:

East: Atlanta 76-49

Central: Pittsburgh 74-51

West: LA Dodgers 73-52

Wildcards: Cardinals 72-53 and Reds 71-55

In the Hunt: Diamondbacks 65-59 (5 games behind Reds)

all other NL teams are below .500

ALE Boston

ALC Detroit

ALW Oak/Tex. tied

WCs: Oak/Tex and TB.

In the hunt: Balt./Cleve./NYYankees

NLE Atlanta

NLC Pittsburgh

NLW LA

WCs: St. Louis/Cinci.

In the hunt: no one really. The closest to these are like 9 games back. The 5 teams above are about 95% your NL playoff teams.

They would have to climeb over like Yankees/Orioles/As/Rays to get playoff spot.

Even a very week last month's schedule won't help them, I don't believe.
