MLB Playoff Picture 2019: Bracket, Odds, Wild Card Standings Entering Last Week
Nine teams remain in the hunt for the two wild-card spots in the American and National Leagues, but in reality, there are five teams for four playoff berths.
Oakland contains a two-game advantage over Tampa Bay and Cleveland, who enter the final week of the regular season locked at 92-64.
Due to the Chicago Cubs' collapse over the last week, Washington and Milwaukee appear to be in the clear in the NL.
If the Brewers find a way to make up three games on St. Louis in the NL Central, the order of the wild-card positions might shift. The Cardinals are four up in the win column on Washington and three above Milwaukee.
