The Yankees finish the season against the rival Boston Red Sox, while the Orioles finish against the Tampa Bay Rays. Tampa Bay is 5.5 games back in the AL East, but still has a shot in the AL Wild Card race as they are 3.5 games behind the Oakland Athletics for the second wild card.
Right now Baltimore and Oakland would earn the two AL wild card spots.
In the other AL divisions, the Texas Rangers lead Oakland by 4 games in the West and the Chicago White Sox have a slim half-game lead over the Detroit tigers in the Central.
In the National League, the Washington Nationals lead the East by 4.5 games over the Atlanta Braves. The Nationals have already clinched a playoff berth. The Cincinnati Reds (Central) and San Francisco giants (West) have clinched their respective divisions.
Atlanta looks certain to be one wild-card team, and the St. Louis Cardinals currently hold the second wild-card spot. The Milwaukee Brewers are 2.5 games back and the Los Angeles Dodgers 3.5 games behind.
