A long and treacherous MLB season finally is beginning to take shape, with almost all of the spots filled for what promises to be a scintillating 2015 postseason on the road to the World Series.
Out of the 10 spots available in the American League and National League, nine have already been claimed. While a couple of teams are fighting tooth-and-nail for that final spot, others are jockeying for division titles or the chance to host one of those pivotal wild-card games.
The season is nearing its end, but not before a weekend of contests that should feature high-stakes play as the clubs preparing for October are gearing up for a playoff run.
