Look at AL Central

As the now , the AL Central looks to be dominated by the Royals.  For the remainder of the season, the rest of the teams will be playing for a chance to earn a wild card spot.Let's take a quick look at the standings.

1st Place: Kansas City Royals
Kansas City is a contender. Currently 20 games over .500 , the Royals are in a great position. As long as they keep up the pace, they should have the #1 seed in the American League. After having seven players on the American League All-Star , it's no wonder  why the Royals are dominating as such.

2nd Place: Minnesota Twins
Eric Hosmer of the Kansas City Royals
Currently eight games behind the Royals , the Minnesota Twins have put themselves in a solid position to contend for the wild card, currently holding on for dear life for the last and final wild card spot. In order to hold onto the last wild card spot, the Twins must improve, only winning 4 out of their last 10 games.

3rd Place: Detriot Tigers
While 3 games under .500, the Tigers are only 3.5 games back from a spot in the wild card. They will need Miguel Cabrera and others will have to step it up and make a run!

4th Place: The Chicago WhiteSox
Also 3 games under .500, the WhiteSox also must make a run to get into the wild card. In their last 10 games, the WhiteSox are on a roll, winning the last 7 out of 10 games. Don't be surprised if the WhiteSox earn a playoff spot.

Last: Cleveland Indians 
While the Indians are a whooping 14.5 games back, they are not completely out out it. There are only 3 games behind the WhiteSox and Tigers, which are both teams still in the hunt for a wild card spot. The closer they get to those teams, the closer they get to a chance to make the playoffs. Next week, the Indians have an important series against the Twins. This may be their last opportunity.
