American League Playoff Spots Up For Grabs

Hours away from August 1. As this article is being written, this is the day of the non waiver trade deadline for Major League Baseball. In the American League the current division leaders are : New York up 1/2 game on Boston in the East. Cleveland 2 games up over Kansas City in the Central. Meanwhile out West the Astros hold a 16 game lead over the Mariners. Now lets get to the AL Wild Card standings. Boston and Kansas city are both narrowly Wild Card leaders. There are 6 additional teams within 2.5-7 games back on a Wild Card berth. Also in the AL East and AL West those two divisions appear to be in the balance with 2 full months of regular season baseball left to be played. Maybe barring a collapse in Houston, from an American League standpoint everything else is up for grabs. Teams will continue to jockey for position for an opportunity to play some October baseball.
