As the 2024 MLB regular season enters the home stretch, we are starting to get a sense of which division races will come down to the wire. The have retaken the American League East lead by a 1.5 game margin over the . Meanwhile, the three-way race in the AL Central shows no signs of opening up with the and both tied at three games back of the . And although the have won six out of their past seven games, they are still just three games ahead of the , who have won six straight. The are also lurking, just 1.5 games back of the D-backs. Here's how those teams sort out in my latest power rankings as we get ready to flip the calendar to September. 10. (74-58, last week 9) World Series odds: +1900 A series win against the Twins and a four-game split against the two wild-card hopefuls themselves were enough for San Diego to remain in the wild-card bracket and in these rankings. 9. (70-60, LW 8) World Series odds: +1000 Houston salvaged a four-game split with Tyler Johnson Jersey a win over the Orioles on Sunday, but the best news for the Astros this week might be the ' firing of Scott Servais. Seattle is in panic mode as Houston once again tightens its grip on the AL West. 8. (72-58, LW 10) World Series odds: +3200 Back-to-back blowout lo ses to the Phillies to finish the week prevented Kansas City from pulling away from Minnesota in both the AL Central and wild-card races. The Royals have come a long way, but this weekend proved that the team, especially its pitching staff, has its flaws. 7. (75-56, LW unranked) World Series odds: +1800 Are the white-hot Diamondbacks peaking at the right time for the second straight year? Arizona rides a six-game win streak into a ma sive homestand this week that includes a four-game series against the Dodgers. 6. (75-55, LW 6) World Series odds: +1700 Can the Guardians continue to fend off Minnesota and Kansas City atop the AL Central for another month? A four-game series with the Royals in Cleveland will go a long way toward answering that question. 5.

(76-54, LW 5) World Series odds: +470 The Phillies lineup that pummeled opponents into submi sion in the first half of the season reappeared over the weekend, as the club hung an 11-spot on the Royals in back-to-back games. So did All-Star Ranger Surez after a month on the injured list. Surez was effective in his return Saturday, while led the way with 7 RBIs. 3. (76-56, LW 1) World Series odds: +750 Baltimore suffered two close lo ses to the Mets and a late rally by the Astros on Sunday night to fall behind the Yankees. Next comes a ma sive series against the Dodgers in Los Angeles in what should be a great measuring stick for a team that's still relatively young and inexperienced. 2.
