2024 MLB Power Rankings: Are Phillies, Yankees back?

The MLB postseason is right around the corner. 

There are two weeks to go in MLB's regular season and all 12 playoff spots are still up for grabs. A few teams will likely clinch playoff spots in the coming days, but roughly half the league still has legitimate hopes of making the postseason.

World Series odds: +2700

The Royals might have let their hopes of winning their division slip away when they lost two of three to the Yankees and couldn't sweep the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend.

World Series odds: +850
