Coming out of Labor Day weekend, Major League Baseball's playoff races look a lot more interesting than they did just a week ago.
The American League wild card standings have tightened, with the Rangers' six-game winning streak vaulting Texas to fourth place, chasing down the Seattle Mariners who cling to the third and final postseason spot.
In the NL Central, the Chicago Cubs carved a few games out of the Brewers' division lead over the past two weeks and while a comeback probably isn't the cards, they're in good position to make Milwaukee sweat a bit into September.
