Lets see how things are shaping up for the playoff run.
AL North: It appears that the Milwaukee Manic Maulers has things well in control for the time being as the Toledo Mud Hens find them 14 games back.
AL East: The Louisville Legends has the division well under control with a 14 game lead over the Huntington Beachcombers.
AL South: The Monterrey Sultans only need 6 games to mathematically clinch the division already as the Nashville Sounds are their biggest concern at 24 games back.
AL West: The Anaheim Chiles have a somewhat comfortable 9 game lead over the Las Vegas Gamblers. This is the closest race in the AL for a division title, the Gamblers will need to start having consistency if they are going to have a chance.
AL Wild Card: The Toledo Mud Hens and Cleveland Skidmarks are currently holding down the final two spots at this time. The Nashville Sounds are 6 to 8 games back in this race but can't seem to gain any ground.
AL Current Seeding:
1. Monterrey Sultans
2. Milwaukee Manic Maulers - Only 2 games back of the #1 seed
3. Louisville Legends
4. Anaheim Chiles
5. Toledo Mud Hens
6. Cleveland Skidmarks - Only 2 games behind the #5 seed
NL North: The Fargo Dirtbags hold a comfortable lead in the division by 11 games over the Chicago Cubs. 11 games are tough to make up but not impossible.
NL East: The Trenton Traffic currently hold an 8 game lead over the Atlanta Bandits and the Norfolk Destroyers. Atlanta was the only team to gain ground this week and only over the Destroyers.
NL South: The Houston Riverdogs are out in front by 9 games over the Memphis Short Grass and the San Juan Dead Bunnies, both of which lost ground to the Riverdogs.
NL West: The Salem Sacrifices hold the top spot with the Arizona Diamondbacks striking at their heels at 4 games back. This is the tightest race in the world for a division title and could come down to the last game of the season.
NL Wild Card: The Chicago Cubs and the Arizona Diamondbacks currently hold the positions but things could change abruptly. The D'Backs could take the West dropping Salem here or with serious contention from the Toronto Toros.
NL Current Seeding:
1. Fargo Dirtbags
2. Salem Sacrifices - 8 games behind the #1 seed
3. Houston Riverdogs - 4 games behind the #2 seed
4. Trenton Traffic - 1 game behind the #3 seed
5. Chicago Cubs
6. Arizona Diamondbacks - 1 game behind the #5 seed, 4 games behind the #2 seed
7. Toronto Toros - 5 games in back of the #6 seed
