Filling in the rest of the picture are the New York Mets winning the NL East, the Los Angeles Dodgers locking-up first place in the NL West and the Chicago Cubs laying claim to one of two wildcard spots.

The American League is a bit more complicated heading into the final few games of the regular season. Toronto is in solid position to win the AL East with the New York Yankees a probable wildcard team. Kansas City has clinched the AL Central and the battle for the AL West is still up in the air. The Texas Rangers have a two-game lead over the Los Angeles Angels and Houston remains in the mix at 2.5 games off the pace. In all likelihood, two of these teams will make the playoffs with the third team being the odd man out.
