Introduction - 9/15/2013

With two weeks remaining in the Major League Baseball regular season, the race for the postseason is heating up. The race in the American League is particularly close, with six teams chasing the final two wild card positions. The Tampa Bay Rays, Texas Rangers, Cleveland Indians, Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees, and Kansas City Royals are all separated by just three and a half games in the standings. The National League appears to be less dramatic, but with the Washington Nationals finally playing good baseball and a slumping Cincinnati Reds team, it is certainly not over. The Central division of the National League is also yet to be determined, as the Reds are battling to keep up with the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates, two of baseball's best teams over the last few months. In this blog I will make weekly predictions based on the schedule strength of the remaining teams and attempt to predict which clubs will still be playing ball come October.
