Looking at both leagues right now.
Both with a 10 game lead and not long left in the season the Orioles and Angels have their respective divisions all but officially wrapped up. 4.5 games up on Baltimore ANaheim seems like the lock for the 1 seed as well but that's less of a given then then division victories. The Central Victor is 6 games back of hte oroles so they're almost certainly going to Baltimore. For the Central KC is a half game up on Detroit in the L column. In the AL Wild Card, Oakland is the current leader, Detroit the current number 2 (tied in the L column with Seattle but with a game up in the W) Cleveland, Toronto, and Yankees are 3.5, 3.5 and 4.0 games back respectively. So mostly settled right now.
In the NL Nationals effectively have the division wrapped up with an 8.5 game lead, the other 2 divisions are more interesting St. Louis is only 2.5 up on Pitt and 4 up on Milwaukee, LA only 2 games up on the Giants, in the Wild Card picture, San Fran is seemlingly comfortably in, 4 games up on PItt who's 1.5 up on Milwaukee (2 in loss column) and 2 up on us (2 in loss column) Miami is a dark horse WC candidate but not too likely. Braves best shot of getting in is that Pitt, St. Louis and Milwaukee ruin their win totals with their interdivision games and we do well enough. Have to win this series in Texas. Shoudl sweep it if we really want to make a statement, leaving Texas with 78 wins should at the very least gain us a game in the WC hunt.
