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.

So are the Cubs! This is our year, I can feel it. World Series Champs for the fourth time this year! It's still mathematically possible. I love math!!
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.
Well they were supposed to come in 4th place before the season started, so they clearly overperformed. But 100 wins is still very doable.
So I guess the big off-season question will be does he stay at Yankee?
He is having a hell of a season and someone will be willing to pay him - a lot.
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.
1933 -- Jimmie Foxx in the AL and Chuck Klein in the NL. According to baseball-reference.com
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.
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...

A quick update:
Looks like the Yankees have officially clinched a playoff spot!
On the NL side, Arizona has officially been eliminated.

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.
Can a pitcher please become a baseball fan and groove a pitch to Judge and let him hit 61 and 62 at home?
No one remembers/cares who gave it up.
Thanks

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.
