Playoff races as of All-Star Break

[Dback Jon]

American League - AL is pretty much over, and unless there is a big collapse, little will change from now until the EOS.

Division Leaders:

Boston - 4.5 game lead
Cleveland 7.5 game lead
Houston - 5.0 game lead

Wild Card

Yankees 5 game lead for home spot, 8 game lead overall
Seattle - 3 game lead for second spot


Only remaining drama - can either the Yankees or Mariners move into division lead?

Oakland is only realistic team that can break into top 5.

The National League is far more wide open:

Division Leaders
Philadelphia - 1/2 game lead
Cubs - 2 1/2 game lead
Dodgers - 1/2 game lead

Wild Card
Milwaukee 2 1/2 game lead for first spot, 3 for overall
Atlanta - 1/2 game lead for final spot

In the East, Washington is 5.5 out
In the Central looks to be two team race
In the West, 4 teams are in it, with Col (2 games) and SF (4 games) lurking

Wild Card - 8 teams are separate by 5.5 games or fewer.
