MLB Tournament of Champions: Regular Season Round 21

We're coming down to the final five weeks of the regular season portion of the MLB Tournament of Champions. There's a lot of separation in the standings at this point, but all ten postseason spots remain up for grabs.

The AL West is our most tightly contested division, with just a game and a half separating the top three teams in the division, though if the season ended today, only two of them would make the postseason. Meanwhile, the 2016 Cubs seem to have reestablished some control over their own dominion as the first team to 40 wins. The shock of late has come from the 1986 Mets, who have lost eight of their last nine and are out of first place for the first time all tournament. They're still in a tie for a wild card spot, but need to right the ship if they want to stay in the playoffs. This has opened up an opportunity for the 1995 Braves, who have seized it, winning ten in a row.

In this round, we have a total of three divisional matchups, including one that requires a doubleheader. The standings for the tournament to date are listed on the sidebar of the main webpage, but if you want a full version of the standings, including wild cards, you can view that here.
