30 teams entered at the beginning of April with dreams of their representative of their respective franchises being crowned the Champion of Champions. At this stage, 27 teams still have a mathematical shot at a postseason berth, but many of these teams have already been bounced from their respective division races and are on the brink of wild card elimination. You can view the full standings here.
This round will see four divisional matchups, but fortunately at this point we're done with both doubleheaders and wraparound weekend series. There are a handful of clinching scenarios: every division except the NL West can be locked up this weekend, and the 1975 Reds and 2011 Rangers can pick up a postseason berth without clinching a division.
All simulations are provided by WhatIfSports.com. Let's punch some tickets.
