We’re almost into single digits, as far as the number of games remaining in the 2018 MLB regular season goes. The New York Yankees are 33 games over .500 — but they’re also 11 ½ games behind Boston, so they look destined for a wild card date with the Oakland A’s, who are 90-60 but remain 4 ½ out in the American League West. The National League is much less settled, as Milwaukee is just 2 ½ games behind the Cubs in the NL Central and the Dodgers are just a half-game behind Colorado in the NL West. Atlanta has a 6 ½-game lead on Philadelphia and a 7 ½-game lead on Washington, but no one in that division has been particularly consistent. Check out our three online MLB betting picks from the national pastime for you this week.
