With playoffs around the corner, it’s time to look at the current division leaders!

New York Yankees

The only team to have clinched a playoff spot, the New York Yankees are a solid team with walk-off wins that prove the games they play aren’t over until they’re over. But to emerge the AL champions, the Yankees will have to be strong enough to beat the rival Red Sox (leading a one-team wild card race) or the always pesky Angels.

Detroit Tigers

The closest division race in baseball is the AL Central. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really matter who wins because they probably don’t stand a chance.

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the Orange County Southern California Region for the American League

No Texiera? No problem! Vlad only DHing? That’s fine. They have obnoxious thundersticks, inside-out hats and rally monkeys. It’s an annoying Disneyland, but with a magically talented team.

Philadelphia Phillies

The biggest difference between last year’s World Champion Phillies and this year’s division leading Phillies is Brad Lidge. He has eleven blown saves. That’s almost three times as many QBs as the neighbor Eagles have on their roster. Brad Lidge’s self-destruction is a clear impression of the Mets, filling a void that is gone this season since the Mets have been irrelevant since July.

St. Louis Cardinals

The more you ignore the Cards, the better they become… which means they may just win everything. Or they may just walk over to the Budweiser brewery and drink their hopes and dreams away for relatively cheap. Budweiser: The Great Recession Lager.

Los Angeles Dodgers

They have a roided, dredded, stoner version of Albert Pujols. They are actually in LA. They have a manager who has won a few games. And their fans show up for part of every home game.
