Down to the Wire

The baseball playoffs are just about set. Here are the American League seedings if the playoffs started today:

1) NY Yankees vs. 4) either Detroit Tigers or Minnesota Twins
2) LA Angels vs. 3) Boston Red Sox

Yankees have home-field throughout the playoffs including the World Series, assuming they go that far. Angels have home-field against the Red Sox. The Tigers are only two games up on the Twins with 3 games remaining, so it'll come down to the final weekend in that division.

Here are the National League seedings if the playoffs started today:

1) LA Dodgers vs. 4) St. Louis Cardinals
2) Philadelphia Phillies vs. 3) Colorado Rockies

The Dodgers have lost 4 straight, have not clinched the NL West division, and are only two games up on Colorado. They play each other in LA beginning tomorrow, and all the Dodgers need to do is win one game to clinch the division. The Rockies have to sweep in order to clinch the division. Home-field is still up for grabs between LA and Philly.
