## Resource

September’s here and the playoff race is heating up—magic numbers are in play as four of six division races remain wide open. The Rays lead the AL East by 4.5 games, the White Sox hold a 3-game edge in the AL Central with a favorable schedule, and the Astros and Rangers battle it out in the AL West, tied at one game. In the NL, Atlanta clings to a 3-game lead over Philly despite injuries, Milwaukee has an insurmountable 8-game lead in the NL Central, and LA locks down the NL West by 9.5 games. The next few weeks will reveal who’s truly ready for October—or just playing out the string. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
