MLB Tournament of Champions: Regular Season Round 24

I delayed this posting by a day and a few hours due to travel back from North Dakota, but even with family vacations in the mix, the MLB Tournament of Champions must roll on!

We're getting down towards the end here, and the 2016 Cubs were the first team to lock up a winning record in the tournament after finishing off a sweep of the Dodgers on Wednesday. Seven other teams have at least 40 wins and will join the Cubs in that winning record club shortly.

A few of our divisions are runaways (looking at you, AL Central), while we have three division races separated by three games or less. The wild card races are also great, with the first team out in each league trailing by just half a game. You can view the full standings here, or the divisional standings on the sidebar of the full site.

This round, we have three divisional matchups, including a renewal of the Cubs-Cardinals rivalry that I'm still cursing Cardinal Devil Magic over from their first meeting in the tournament. All simulations are provided by WhatIfSports.com. Let's play some baseball!
