A banner year for the National League, this has not been.
All three division races are wrapped up. The Washington Nationals have an 8-game lead over the New York Mets in the East, the Chicago Cubs have already clinched the Central thanks to a massive 16-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have a comfortable 5-game cushion over the San Francisco Giants in the NL West.
All that remains in the Senior Circuit are the two wild card spots, and all three of those second place teams, the Mets, Cardinals and Giants, are in the hunt.
