Division, wild-card races at a glance

We're past the halfway point of September, and the possibilities for playoff-related chaos are dwindling. The Cleveland Indians have clinched their division and the Boston Red Sox are about to clinch theirs, the Atlanta Braves have nearly wrapped the NL East, and the three-team races in the NL Central and NL West now appear to be two-team races with a couple of very long shots -- the St. Louis Cardinals and Arizona Diamondbacks -- off in the distance. That said, the National League's wild-card race still has a multitude of possibilities in play, and there's still drama to be had regarding the location of the American League wild-card game.
