In the national league the NL East has the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves battling for the first place. The NL Central looks like a lock for the St Louis Cardinals who is leading the Milwaukee Brewers by 8.5 games with 14 games to play.

This year the league has added a third wild card team. The current battle in the National League has the Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres, and Philadelphia Phillies currently in with the Milwaukee Brewers only 2.5 games back. Here are the current standings.

In the American League the AL West Houston Astros clinched the division. The AL East leading New York Yankees are currently 5.5 games up on the Toronto Blue Jays and the AL Central leading Cleveland Guardians are 4 games up on the Chicago White Sox.

The battle for the wild card teams in the AL include the current 3 teams Toronto Blue Jays, Tampa Bay Rays, and the Seattle Mariners in and 5 games ahead of the Baltimore Orioles.
