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
-
2.5 back
-
2.5 back
2.5 back
Hopefully by the time I update this next week it will be -0- back.
-
still 2.5 in the wild card
-
1.5 as of today
-
7.5 in the division
3.5 in the wild card
-
1-5 against playoff type teams Atlanta and Detroit. 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.

Today 9/3 this is how it stands:
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.
