Playoff Pace: July 30, 2008

This post is a measure of who's projected to win all divisions plus the wild cards, and how far behind the rest of the teams are. For instance, Tampa Bay is in the AL East lead with 91 wins, but Boston is just a couple percentage points behind and also gains 91 wins. Any team over .500 in this measurement has a shot at the division title or wild card, but as the season draws nearer to the end, start focusing on teams in the .800s or .900s.
