The Reds have become the latest victims of the Giants juggernaut, suffering a sweep at the Giants' hands in the 2012 World Series. That's three in a row for the Giants, and although it's been done once before, it's never been done in such convincing fashion. And, the Giants are odds-on favorites to repeat yet again in 2013, so a four-peat is a distinct possibility. Libby gets the comfy bed once again!

x- Clinched division title
y- Clinched playoff spot

Cardinals, Rockies and Reds are in the playoffs! The battle for the last spot is between the Giants and Yankees. Yankees are in the clubhouse at 47-33, and the Giants have four left with the mighty Rockies. If the Rockies suffer an unexpected collapse during their final eight games the Giants could still back into the Curly Division championship. Failing that the Giants need to take two of their final four against the Rockies to clinch the wild card (they prevail over the Yankees in the head-to-head tie-breaker). Should the Rockies take three of four from the Giants the Yankees are the wild card. Meanwhile if the Athletics can manage one more loss out of their final two against the Mets they will clinch Chris Medlen the first pick in the draft. Should the Athletics win both of their final two the Pirates would take first pick (again, tie-breaker would decide). Lots riding on these final few games!
