There is roughly one month remaining in the 2015 MLB season, and the postseason picture is really starting to take shape.
The Kansas City Royals, New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers all look like locks to win their respective divisions, but the other three are still very much up for grabs.
The Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees battling it out in the AL East is the tightest race at the moment, and their weekend matchup will be a big one in determining who comes out on top.
Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers have closed the gap significantly to the Houston Astros as the AL West should also come down to the wire.
The NL Central does not carry quite as much pressure as the St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs all appear to be locks for October, but what order those three finish in the standings and who will host the Wild Card Game has yet to be determined.
With so much still to be decided, let's take a quick updated look at each contender's odds of reaching the playoffs.
*Note: While no one has been mathematically eliminated from the postseason just yet, not everyone has a realistic chance of reaching the playoffs. Teams listed as non-contenders can be assumed as having less than a 2 percent chance of making the postseason. Chances for non-contenders were not factored into the overall chance percentage points (500 percent in each league, since there are five spots).
