The Yankees lead should be pretty safe. 6 games ahead with 19 games left. Even if they get swept by the Blue Jays, the Blue Jays still have to face the Rays 4 more times.
 
Well the post season is getting a little clearer... with the following teams now officially out of the playoffs:

Detroit
Oakland
Miami
Washington (yeah!!!)
Cincinnati
Pittsburgh

So far, the Dodgers are the only ones who have clinched a playoff birth.

Adding to the list...

Kansas City is now out also...

No other teams as of yet have clinched a playoff birth outside of the Dodgers.
 
Paul Goldschmidt is also chasing the Triple Crown in the NL. I'm rooting for both of them to do it. I doubt there's ever been one in both leagues for the same season.

Goldschmidt has a little more of an uphill climb. 4 home runs behind and 9 points behind in average. Can he close the gap on one of those? Maybe. But unlikely both.

Yeah, I looked that up after I posted. It's less likely than it was looking in early September. I doubt that he can do it.

Thanks to @palter for looking up the history. ⚾⚾

Agreed. As much as this Cardinals fan appreciates Goldy, I would be surprised if he manages the Triple Crown.
 
Lol

Looks like we have a few more to add to the list:

Houston has clinched a playoff spot

Los Angeles and Texas are now out in the AL

Mets and Atlanta have clinched a spot

Cubs are now out...

Looks like another team has clinched a spot:

The Atlanta Braves are in the post season!

Looks like there are about 8 games (+-) left in the season...

AL Central
AL East
and
NL Central

Are the only divisions left to have someone clinch a playoff birth or clinch the division. Speaking of clinching a division, the Dodgers have officially clinched the NL West...

Albert Pujols rose to the occasion last night to reach 700. As a Cardinals fan who got to enjoy his first ten years live at Busch, it has been a privilege to watch him play. A no-doubt first-ballot HOFer for sure.

At season start, I figured he wouldn't reach 700, that he was on his last legs. But the dude has 21 HRs this season.
 

Oh come on!

It's not a Yankees fan thing. It's a history thing! Especially if Judge is clean, anyone should be rooting for Judge. And the home fans should be able to witness it.

Just like I was rooting for Pujols to reach 700.
