Odds of Each Wild-Card Long Shot Pulling off a Shocker

The line "if the season ended today" gets thrown around a lot at this point in the MLB season, but the truth is there is still a lot of baseball to be played.

At roughly the same juncture in the season last year (115 games played), the Milwaukee Brewers still led the NL Central standings and the Toronto Blue Jays would have grabbed the No. 2 AL wild-card spot over the Kansas City Royals.

The point is a lot can change over the final month and a half of a 162-game season, so it's worth taking a look at some teams currently on the periphery of the playoff picture to see who could make a late charge.

The following highlights 10 teams currently on the outside looking in and their odds of changing that and reaching the playoffs when the 2015 regular season comes to a close.
