Standings & News & Notes
Division titles are wrapping up and the new expanded playoff formats are being scrutinized by those who hate change of any kind. The Yankees will be forced to go through one more team if they want to repeat for a 6th straight championship.
The Athletics are limping to the finish line with one of the worst records in league history. The newly created amateur draft will allow them to pick the highest rated incoming rookie in December, but we will learn just how good their scouting and front office has become - or not.
Home field advantage in all playoff rounds are determined by regular season won - loss records, so teams still may feel it necessary to play some of their starters during the last week of the season.
Another no-hitter occurred last week as well.
