Postseason outcome

Most of the layoff races are already decided. A couple might still change though. The Cardinals have a 10 game lead. There magic number is down to 3. That means 3 Cardinal wins or 3 Cub losses or the combination guaranties them a spot in the postseason. The Yankees have a 5 game lead on the Red Sox. Even if the Red Sox’s pass the Yankees they have the Wild Card for protection. The Red Sox have a 7 game lead in the wild card which almost guarantees them to make it. The Angels have a 7.5 game lead over the rangers so the outcome will be about like the Red Sox.
The Phillies have an 8 game lead over the Braves and Marlins. There magic number should start getting small in a couple of days. The Dodgers have only a 5 game lead. They have won 7 of there last ten though. It would be hard for the Rockies to catch them. Even if they do there is the wild card protection.
The NL wild card race could still change. They are only separated by 4 games. The Rockies have a much harder schedule than the Giants. It is 4 games but a lot could change. The AL central is very close. The Tigers have the Twins by 2.5 games. The Twins have been hot while the Tigers are slumping. If the Tigers don’t start winning now this could change soon. That clearly states how the postseason will probably start.
