It's early in September.

The Chicago White Sox and Oakland Athletics are already eliminated from the divisional chase, and Detroit is not far behind (maybe that's why they traded Verlander).

In the National League, just as in ancient times, Philadelphia and the Mets are out of the race as are San Diego and San Francisco.  No, I don't believe the Dodgers have the most wins this year.  And I'm still not used to Houston being in the American League and leading the Western Division.
