In a wildcard year... things would have gotten REAL interesting this week in the IL with Washington picking up 4 full games! With about 7 weeks to go... there would be 7 teams in the DL and 6 in the IL still fighting for spots.

If we had a WC...

The IL race would really be tight near the end. Washington, Baltimore, Windy City, and Davenport would all be fighting over two spots. In the DL, Pittsburgh, Hartford and Los Lunas would be all close to the finish as well.
