The 2010 season is wrapping up, the Division Playoffs are right around the corner, and the World Series is coming up quite soon. What has been going on in the standings lately is quite interesting; some of the most prominent teams are quite unexpected. There are many teams that are in contention for the finals, but there are some favorites that stand out.

The Yankees, as usual, are in the lead as favorites to take the World Series. They are undeniably the strongest team in baseball at the moment. Despite several injuries that have set them back a few games in their lead, they are still the team to beat.  They have the most hits of any team this season, and with some of the most explosive batters, promise to deliver excellent games in the near future.

The Tampa Bay Rays are now tied with the Yankees, they have been doing some very hard work recently, and the results are self-evident. With a huge push in recent weeks they have become the only team capable of knocking the Yankees off their pedestal. They have a great team, strong management, and a great record to go on.

The Mariners, who have been losing a lot recently, the Orioles, who are one of the worst teams around, and the Pirates, who have been defeated by almost every team they have faced, occupy the bottom slots in the league. All three of these teams have horrible records for the season, and have been playing very drab uninspired baseball. With no chance of a Division Playoff position, they can only hope to increase their standing by a few points by winning a few games in the next few weeks.
