## Resource

Baseball’s playoff race is tighter than ever, with nine AL teams within four and a half games of each other and eight NL teams bunched within three — every game feels like it counts double. The Yankees, Guardians, and Mariners cling to Wild Card spots, while the Phillies and Cubs surge ahead. Chicago’s on a hot streak, the Padres face a tough road, and the Rangers, once rumored to be sellers, now lead their division after a sweep. Even the Red Sox, written off by some, are just four and a half games back after sweeping the Yankees. With the trade deadline looming, the race is heating up — and only the strongest teams will survive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
