Overview

• Toronto leads the American League at 78-56, a half-game ahead of Detroit, and opens a series against MLB-best Milwaukee today.
• The Brewers control the National League’s top seed, 5.5 games clear of the Dodgers and Phillies, and would secure home field throughout if they finish with the best record.
• Houston holds a two-game AL West lead over Seattle, and the Dodgers are up two on the Padres in the NL West.
• Boston currently edges New York by about a half-game for AL Wild Card position, with Seattle holding the third spot but lacking tiebreakers against both clubs and no head-to-heads left.
• The current No. 3 seeds are the Astros in the AL and the Phillies in the NL, which would set up Houston–Seattle and Philadelphia–New York Mets Wild Card Series if the season ended today.
