The Giants have all but locked up the best franchise, with the White Sox the favorite to come in second. Six franchises are in a tight battle to claim 3rd place.
In terms of the best ownership tandem, it's a race between 5 pairs of owners. With 176 games left (16 franchises * 11 games), a lot can still happen.
As far as the team with the best record advancing, there are still a couple of good races going. The Yankees, Orioles, Twins, Cubs, Phillies, Giants, Dodgers and Reds all have 2 teams seperated by 1-2 games. The Pirates have FOUR teams seperated by 1 game. The Red Sox, Tigers, Indians, White Sox, A's, Cardinals Braves win-leaders have a nice lead of 4 or more games.
