Just a few more days remain before all the playoff spots in Major League Baseball have been claimed. Here is a comprehensive look at each team still in the playoff race.

AL East

With a four-game lead over the New York Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays have pretty much wrapped up the division. Big trades in late July for shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, pitcher David Price, and outfielder Ben Revere helped propel the team forward with a big August. Despite Tulowitzki's absence during September, the Blue Jays are tied with the Kansas City Royals for the top spot in the American League. Don't be surprised when they achieve that number-one ranking all to themselves.

While the Yankees won't be winning their division, they will be hosting the AL Wild Card game. After missing out on the postseason each of the past two seasons, they'll need a win at home where the hosts are 2-4 in the one-game playoff.

AL Central

The Royals have won their division for the first time in 30 years and the first time ever in the Central! After narrowly missing out on a World Series title last year, this team has remained at the top of the AL standings throughout the course of the year, and only recently has Toronto caught up to them, looking to overtake them for the top spot in the AL.

The Minnesota Twins are my personal favorite to win the second AL wild card spot. With four games against the Cleveland Indians and three with the Royals (who will have nothing to play for), the Twins have a good chance to go at least 5-3 down the stretch and pick up that one game and a half to the Houston Astros.

AL West

If Texas had taken the series in Houston, it would have pretty much wrapped up the division, with a 4.5-game lead over the Astros. However, since Houston won each of the past two days, they'll have to hold both them and the Angels off going into the final seven days of the year. If they can, the Rangers will be entrenched in the third-place spot in the AL and will likely play at either the Royals or the Blue Jays to open up the Division Series.

Houston currently holds the final wild-card spot, but I think they are falling. If their starting pitching doesn't improve fast, this team is doomed to miss the playoffs. The Astros simply do not seem like a team built to win with their pitching over the final week of the season, even if they did just take two out of three from Texas. I don't like their long odds of catching up to the Rangers, anyway.

The Los Angeles Angels are in an interesting spot, sandwiched between the Astros and the Twins in the wild-card standings. They probably have the best shot to overtake the Astros, which I think they will. Could they even be able to catch all the way up to Texas for the division lead? They play them in a four-game series to end the season. The more realistic question is whether or not they can stave off Minnesota for the right to take on the Yankees in a wild-card showdown. Can you imagine the luster of an LA Angels at NY Yankees one-game wild-card playoff?

NL East

The Mets have won the National League East. It looks like a lock that the Mets will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Division Series, and I like them to stay ahead of LA in the final week of the season to secure home-field advantage in that series.

NL Central

The St. Louis Cardinals are closing in on 100 wins, and their season will come down to a three-game series against the Pirates at the beginning of this week. Currently with a three-game lead on Pittsburgh, if they take the series, they'll be hosting either Pittsburgh or the Chicago Cubs at the start of the Division Series in two weeks.

With a series win over the Cubs this weekend, the Pirates ensured that they will at least be hosting the Cubs next week in the NL wild-card game. If they can sweep the series against the Cardinals, they might be the ones hosting the first game of the Division Series against either the Cubs or the Cardinals.

The Cubs are pretty much locked into the final wild-card spot. The NL Central was easily the best division in baseball this year.

NL West

The Dodgers will clinch the division with a win or a San Francisco Giants' loss. They will be taking on the Mets in the first round of the playoffs, and since they play the Giants next week, I think they'll lose enough games to be playing the first game in New York.
