"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;NOTE: For the remainder of the regular season, SI.com will have a daily post updating the standings relevant to the postseason races. The positive numbers under Games Behind for the wild-card leaders indicate their lead over the third-place team in the race, or how far they are from being knocked out of a playoff spot. The Elimination Number (E#) column indicates the total number of the given team\u2019s losses and leading team\u2019s wins needed to eliminate that team from the race (essentially the reverse of a magic number). The magic number of the leading team is the elimination number of the second-place team. Postseason Odds are from ClayDavenport.com and will be updated in the mornings only.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Standings updated through the completed games on Thursday, September 25.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;* = Team has clinched division. ^ = Team has clinched playoff spot.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;AL East&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tteam\r\n\t\t\tw-l\r\n\t\t\tpct.\r\n\t\t\tgb\r\n\t\t\tE#\r\n\t\t\todds\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tOrioles*\r\n\t\t\t95-64\r\n\t\t\t.597\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t100.0\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;AL Central&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tteam\r\n\t\t\tw-l\r\n\t\t\tpct.\r\n\t\t\tgb\r\n\t\t\te#\r\n\t\t\todds\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tTigers^\r\n\t\t\t89-71\r\n\t\t\t.556\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t96.7\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tRoyals^\r\n\t\t\t88-72\r\n\t\t\t.550\r\n\t\t\t1.0\r\n\t\t\t2\r\n\t\t\t3.3\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;AL West&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tteam\r\n\t\t\tw-l\r\n\t\t\tpct.\r\n\t\t\tgb\r\n\t\t\te#\r\n\t\t\todds\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tAngels*\r\n\t\t\t98-62\r\n\t\t\t.613\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t100.0\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;AL Wild Card&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tteam\r\n\t\t\tw-l\r\n\t\t\tpct.\r\n\t\t\tgb\r\n\t\t\te#\r\n\t\t\todds\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tRoyals^\r\n\t\t\t88-72\r\n\t\t\t.550\r\n\t\t\t+1\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t95.3\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tAthletics\r\n\t\t\t87-73\r\n\t\t\t.544\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t93.6\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tMariners\r\n\t\t\t85-75\r\n\t\t\t.531\r\n\t\t\t2\r\n\t\t\t1\r\n\t\t\t7.0\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;AL Home Field Advantage Throughout Playoffs&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tteam\r\n\t\t\tw-l\r\n\t\t\tpct.\r\n\t\t\tgb\r\n\t\t\tE#\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tAngels\r\n\t\t\t98-62\r\n\t\t\t.613\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;If the season ended today:&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Royals would host the Athletics&amp;nbsp;in the Wild Card Game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Angels would have home-field advantage against the Wild Card Game winner in the Division Series.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Orioles would have home-field advantage against the Tigers in the other Division Series.\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;NL East&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tteam\r\n\t\t\tw-l\r\n\t\t\tpct.\r\n\t\t\tgb\r\n\t\t\te#\r\n\t\t\todds\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tNationals*\r\n\t\t\t94-66\r\n\t\t\t.5889\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t100.0\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;NL Central&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tteam\r\n\t\t\tw-l\r\n\t\t\tpct.\r\n\t\t\tgb\r\n\t\t\te#\r\n\t\t\todds\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tCardinals^\r\n\t\t\t89-71\r\n\t\t\t.556\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t80.5\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tPirates^\r\n\t\t\t88-72\r\n\t\t\t.550\r\n\t\t\t1\r\n\t\t\t2\r\n\t\t\t19.5\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;NL West&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tTeam\r\n\t\t\tw-l\r\n\t\t\tpct.\r\n\t\t\tgb\r\n\t\t\te#\r\n\t\t\todds\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tDodgers*\r\n\t\t\t92-68\r\n\t\t\t.575\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t100.0\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;NL Wild Card&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tteam\r\n\t\t\tw-l\r\n\t\t\tpct.\r\n\t\t\tgb\r\n\t\t\te#\r\n\t\t\todds\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tPirates^\r\n\t\t\t88-72\r\n\t\t\t.550\r\n\t\t\t+2\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t80.5\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tGiants^\r\n\t\t\t86-74\r\n\t\t\t.538\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t100.0\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;NL Home Field Advantage Throughout Playoffs&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tteam\r\n\t\t\tw-l\r\n\t\t\tpct.\r\n\t\t\tgb\r\n\t\t\te#\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\tNationals\r\n\t\t\t94-66\r\n\t\t\t.588\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\t\u2014\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\t&amp;nbsp;\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;h2&gt;If the season ended today:&lt;/h2&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Pirates&amp;nbsp;would host the Giants&amp;nbsp;in the Wild Card Game.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Nationals would have home-field advantage against the Wild Card Game winner in the Division Series.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Dodgers would have home-field advantage against the Cardinals in the other Division Series.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
