Playoff Race - 8 To Play

Below is a look at the standings entering play tonight with eight to go in the first half.  (Note: Due to rainouts, not every team will play 70 games and some teams have doubleheaders still.  As we get closer to the finish of the first half, the picture will become a bit clearer, but for now, I will only mark a team as mathematically eliminated if they have no hope of catching the wild card).
