We are a little over a third of the way through the Major League Baseball season. We know the Astros and Marlins are the biggest pretenders in the league as they are each going to approach 100+ losses. The Twins, White Sox, Mets, Brewers, and Cubs are most likely not going to compete. These teams just have too much ground to try and make up.
That highlights the Cardinals, Red Sox, Reds, Yankees, Athletics, Braves, Diamondbacks, Rangers, Tigers, Orioles, and yes, the Pirates as our contenders come September.
The Cardinals are the current NL Central division leaders (42-22), as we could see three teams reach the postseason from that division this year with the Reds at 39-26 and Pirates right behind at 38-26.
The Yankees and Red Sox are battling for first in the AL East, believe it or not, while the Braves and Tigers are in complete control of their respective divisions as of today.
Then there are teams like the Nationals, Phillies, Padres, Rockies, Dodgers, Royals, Indians, Rays, Giants, Angels, Blue Jays, and Mariners that will go one way or the other in the next month.
