We have just six weeks of the regular season left to go at this point and while I'd like to say the division races are heating up, I'm not entirely sure that that's true. Our narrowest division lead coming into this game is the 2007 Rockies' one and a half game advantage in the NL West, with the 1989 Athletics' two game edge being the next closest. Every other division is separated by at least three games. The wild card races are very interesting at this stage though, especially in the National League where three teams are tied for the final spot.
We'll see a fair amount of shakeup in the standings in all likelihood this round, though not a ton because we only have a single divisional matchup this time around. It is the conclusion of some season series in both leagues, however. If you want to see a full breakdown of all the standings, wild cards included, you can view those here.
