Last night showed why the playoffs could be crazy...who would you have rather had going, Kirby vs Tigers or Bellozo vs Phillies?  One scored 19 and the other -11.  🤐

:BAL: and  :CIN:  have locked up their spots as the top Division winners in the AL and NL. 

:SEA: has secured the AL 2nd Division winner spot.

:NYM: have not only taken over the NL East race but have locked up 2nd Division winner spot in the NL.

:BAL: :SEA: :CIN: :NYM: will all have a 1st round bye in the playoffs. 

The NL playoffs appear to be set but there could be a switch in the #1 or #2 WC spot depending on how this week goes. 

The AL still has  :DET: and  :MIN: within striking distance of the #3 WC spot.    :DET: is also 6 games back of the AL Central lead.   :NYY: have been eliminated from the playoffs. 

This is the last week of the regular season so it'll be interesting to see how the final playoff spots shake out.
