As of right now, only two teams seem like locks to win their divisions, the Washington Nation als and the Cincinnati Reds. Other than these two teams, anyone is still subject to being left out of the playoff picture. The American League has a lot of holes to fill; for example, who will emerge victorious in the AL East? The Yankees, the Orioles, or the Rays? As of Friday, September 14th, the Yankees and Orioles are tied for the AL East lead and the Rays are only three games back. The Yankees, for most of the season, have dominated the AL East and will pull away in the end with their strong batting lineup. Whoever finishes in second will likely win an AL wild card spot and this will be determined by the final week of the season when the Orioles and Rays play each other for three games.
