There are just a few more weeks of playoff uncertainty left in Major League Baseball, as the window of opportunity closes for teams on the bubble. At the beginning of June, there were five teams with a 90 percent chance or higher of making the playoffs, seven teams with less than a 10 percent chance and 18 teams with an undecided fate. As of the end of August, that’s nine teams most likely in, 13 teams almost certainly out and just 8 teams left with between a 10 percent and 90 percent shot at the playoffs. That’s a lot of teams with a fairly certain playoff fate, with still weeks to go in the season.
