With six weeks left in the season, the divisional and wild-card races are heating up more -- and are making for some exciting baseball.
A dominant run from the Padres and Diamondbacks -- both of whom are now solidly in the top 10 of our rankings -- has closed the gap between them and the Dodgers, making the National League West more competitive. Similarly, in the East, the Phillies' slump has allowed the Braves to come back within striking distance to where a division title isn't totally impossible.
Meanwhile, in the American League, battles for the division between the Yankees and Orioles in the East and the Astros and Mariners in the West could come down to the wire.
