When we get this deep into a season, my power rankings are not always just my order of the best teams. A lot more goes into it, such as the reasons the Cleveland Indians stay just outside the top five. It's because the fact they play in the American League Central, and they've been nearly a lock to win the division since turning around their season in June.
So with that in mind, let's really dig into who's going to win each division and look at the battle for the wild card spots in each league.
Yes, the New York Yankees have closed back to within six games of the Boston Red Sox, and with two games in hand -- meaning two more games to play than the Red Sox -- that number could be five games. However, we'd still have to assess the Red Sox as having about a 75 percent chance to win the AL East.
