A couple of close races in the NL with the Braves beating out the Mets and the Cubs beating the Cards each by just one game. The Dodgers continued their dominance in the NL West by 9 games despite a 4-game winning streak by the Giants to end the season. St. Louis got the wildcard by 3 over the Reds.

In the AL, the Yankees just destroyed everyone with Cleveland also having a strong season. Houston was pretty strong in the West with Baltimore taking the wildcard to give them a chance of repeating their World Series appearance.
