MLB: Which division leaders will stay on top?
By Phil Akre
As the calendar rolls into June, MLB’s division leaders have separated themselves from the rest of the pack. However, come playoff time, which of these teams will actually see the postseason?
So far, the 2017 MLB season has been one of the best in recent memory. A bevy of young superstars have taken over the league, while established veterans have produced some one-of-a-kind moments (Edinson Volquez. . . looking at you).
In addition to some awesome moments early on in the season, the typical cellar-dwellers have surprised to take control of major divisions.
Bryce Harper is off to a blazing start and looks to have finally become the superstar he was destined to be. Mike Trout was on his way to a third Most Valuable Player award, but he is sidelined with a thumb injury.
But let’s get back to the basics. Let’s take a look at who the top dog is in each division, because come October, the standings will probably look a lot different.
