The Brewers are, and have been, the best team in the league for a few months, just now the record reflects that. The next five teams join them in having a chance to win this October. From #7 to #15 there is still a chance to displace some of those teams, but for varying reasons it seems less likely. From #16 to #24 there are some reasons to still be watching at this stage. From #25 to #27 there’s reasons to maybe watch a few nights a week. The next two don’t really even have any sort of direction or idea of what they want to do next. As for #30, God bless your soul, what have you done?
