According to the RIOT numbers site, the following teams cannot win their divisions unless they get help:

AL East:

  • Toronto
  • Baltimore
  • Tampa Bay

AL Central:

  • Minnesota
  • Kansas City
  • Chicago

AL West:

  • Oakland
  • Texas

NL East:

  • Florida
  • Washington

NL Central:

  • Houston
  • Cincinnati
  • Pittsburgh

NL West:

  • Los Angeles
  • San Francisco

 

The Dodgers could win all of their remaining games and finish in a tie for the wild card. The Braves, Cardinals, and Rockies are all teetering on the precipice.

(These lists can change if a trailing teams wins a few games and the first place team loses some.)

Tampa needs lots of help, such as moving to another division.

I'm not losing hope yet.

I like the Dodgers chances for the wild card if they win the next 38 games.

The Dodgers will at least get into a tiebreaker playoff!
