There are seven weeks remaining in MLB’s regular season. Once the postseason matchups are set, we may look back on this week, August 13 through 19, as moving week. There are eight series this week that feature two teams either in postseason position right now, or within 2.5 games of a playoff spot. We’ll look at a few of the biggest ones at the end of the Table Setter, but they are Red Sox at Phillies, Brewers at Cubs, Rockies at Astros, Mariners at A’s, Rockies at Braves, Astros at A’s, Dodgers at Mariners, and Brewers at Cardinals.
That’s a huge week of baseball, and it will go a long way toward determining this year’s postseason matchups, as well as which teams are left on the outside.
