There are six weeks left in the 2025 MLB season, and after it seemed as if some of baseball's top teams were running away with their divisions early on, we've seen those leads shrink to, in some cases, zero.
In the National League West, we've seen the Dodgers' commanding lead be erased entirely, as the Padres now lead their rivals by one game atop the division -- and with a series between the two coming up this weekend.
The same has happened in the American League West, with the Astros overtaking the Mariners earlier in the season and building a cushion atop the division, only to see that disappear as Seattle has won eight of its last 10 games to be just one game back from Houston.
