AL East- The Yankees and Rays are currently tied for the division lead with the best record in baseball. Both teams will make the playoffs and for a while I figured it would be a coin flip as to who will take the division, but now I'm starting to think that the Rays will, maybe even by a few games.
AL Central- The Twins have a 3.5 game lead on the White Sox and I really see no reason as to why they will relinquish their spot atop the division. The White Sox are a solid team and have had a pretty impressive year, but I don't think they're sniffing the postseason.
AL West- The Rangers have been in the lead for a long time now currently ahead by 8.5 games over the A's, nothing more to say really.
NL East- The Phillies just got swept by the friggin' Astros, yet they are still only 3 games back. The Braves could have done some real damage but they lost 3 in a row themselves. The Braves still have excellent pitching and I'll favor the team up 3 games this late in the season, but the Phillies could (and should) make it interesting.
NL Central- Ever since the "statement" series against the Reds, the Cardinals have been pretty blah, and are now 4 games back of the Reds. I still feel they are the better team like I said in the power rankings, but the Reds have to be the favorites at this point.
NL West- The Padres have a 6 game lead over the Giants, and yet it still seems like there is a division race, even though it's been about 6 games for a month now. This race is over, but the pesky Giants should be in the running for the wild card with the Cardinals and Phillies.
