There are 15 teams in the Major League National League. The top three teams in each district advance to the post season, and the three teams will win the WC in order of highest win rate.
The Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers, and Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to rank No. 1 in their respective districts. The five teams have virtually failed to advance to the fall baseball league.
The remaining seven teams are fiercely competing for the third WC. They are the Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres, Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets, and St. Louis. St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates, and San Francisco Giants….
San Francisco is the last among them. However, it is 4.5 games behind Arizona, which is the third place in the WC Maginot Line. It can catch up with 50 games left. In particular, Blake Snell and Robbie Ray have returned and the rotation has stabilized. However, hitting is a problem.
The gap between the WC No. 2 San Diego and No. 3 Arizona is only 0.5. The ranking changes after sleeping.
You have to play every game as if it were a final.
In the case of the American League, five teams seem to be competing for the three WCs. They are the New York Yankees, the Minnesota Twins, the Kansas City Royals, the Boston Red Sox, and the Houston Astros.
The gap between Kansas City, the third-ranked team in the WC, and Houston, the fifth-ranked team, is four.
What’s interesting is the Western District. There is only one match difference between the first and second places. However, if it fails to rank No. 1, it can be eliminated as it is. This is because the second place in the district is four games behind the third place in the WC.
