So far, only one team has been eliminated from any race, with the 2005 White Sox mathematically eliminated from the AL Central. They're still technically in the running for a wild card, but that dream could also come to an end this weekend. A handful of other teams also find themselves on the verge of playoff elimination this weekend as well. On the other side, the 1995 Indians could lock up the AL Central with success against the White Sox while the Royals struggle. You can take a full look at the standings, including wild cards, here.
Speaking of White Sox-Indians, they make up the final doubleheader of the tournament. Over in the National League, this week presents the final set of wraparound series, which is why this post is coming out on a Monday. This weekend, we have a total of seven divisional matchups including those mentioned above.
All simulations are provided by WhatIfSports.com. Time to play some baseball.
