Welcome to the final stretch. As we enter September, teams are mostly split into three categories: those preparing for the playoffs, those trying to make a run at contention and those whose focus has turned to next season.
And there's still a fair amount to play for within those groups. Take the clubs that are pretty safely in playoff position. A number of them are battling in division races in the last month of the regular season, such as the Yankees and Orioles in the AL East and the Guardians and Royals in the AL Central.
