MLB Tournament of Champions: Regular Season Round 29

I'm on vacation again, this time in Texas to visit my wife's family and introduce Matthew to everyone down there, but the MLB Tournament of Champions must roll on, considering that we're into the final week of play!

Over the weekend two more spots were claimed in the Elimination Round, with three more division titles having been won. The West Divisions in both leagues as well as all four Wild Cards are still up for grabs as we wait to see who will join the 2016 Cubs, 1995 Braves, 1995 Indians, and 2004 Red Sox. The sidebar of the main website contains the division standings, but if you're on a mobile version of the site or want more detail, full standings can be seen here.

I would expect to see a few clinching games during this round of the tournament, which features three divisional matchups. All simulations are provided by WhatIfSports.com. Let's play some baseball!
