I was looking at the standings this morning and was somewhat shocked to see the Wild Card standing in both divisions. It really looks like the teams that are "in it"... will be IN IT. The only issue really are some of the divisional races with the losers being out and the winner having a worse W-L record than a few teams sitting outside the wildcard- Baltimore (F'IN BALTIMORE!!!) in the AL... possibly, but unlikely Philly in the NL. Milwaukee really looks like the only team that is "in it" that won't be IN IT.
As much as it pains me... I don't see the MFY's falling enough for either the Rays or Jays to catch them. The Astros really have locked the West down. Seattle, Rays and Jays look like they're in. It seems like it'll be a race in the Central- Cleveland with a 3 game lead but Chicago and Minnesota within striking distance.
I'm picking
1. Houston
2. MFY
3. Cleveland
4. Seattle
5. Rays
6. Jays
In the NL
1. Dodgers
2. Mets
3. Cardinals
4. Braves
5. Philly
6. Padres
Playoff prediction thread is best after it's all settled. No play-in games this year IINM, yeah?
