t.All five American League teams and three of the five National League teams have clinched a spot. That leaves the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers fighting for the NL West title and the whoever loses out on the division crown battling with the St. Louis Cardinals for the second NL wild-card spot.Also still up for grabs is the right to host the AL Wild Card Game and the NL Central title Edgar Martinez Jersey , as the Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers are separated by just a half game.Here's a look at how the playoff field would line up if the season ended Wednesday, as well as some updated World Series odds:Current Playoff MatchupsAmerican LeagueWild Card Game: (WC2) Oakland Athletics at (WC1) New York YankeesALDS: (1) Boston Red Sox vs. (WC) New York Yankees/Oakland AthleticsALDS: (2) Houston Astros vs. (3) Cleveland IndiansNational LeagueWild Card Game: (WC2) Los Angeles Dodgers at (WC1) Milwaukee BrewersNLDS: (1) Chicago Cubs vs. (WC) Los Angeles Dodgers/Milwaukee BrewersNLDS: (2) Atlanta Braves vs. (3) Colorado RockiesOdds to Win 2018 World SeriesChris SaleAdam Glanzman/Getty ImagesBoston Red Sox: 3-1Houston Astros: 7-2Los Angeles Dodgers: 11-2Chicago Cubs: 15-2Cleveland Indians: 8-1New York Yankees: 12-1Atlanta Braves: 12-1Oakland Athletics: 15-1Milwaukee Brewers: 18-1Colorado Rockies: 30-1St. Louis Cardinals: 30-1Odds courtesy of OddsSharkand last updated Tuesday. OverviewBob Levey/Getty ImagesThe Red Sox have won a franchise-record 107 games, so it's no surprise to see them listed as the World Series favorite.Paced by a high-powered offense that leads the majors in batting average (.268), OPS (.791), runs (855) and runs per game (5.38), the Red Sox also have a dangerous starting staff and one of the best closers in baseball.Chris Sale (12-4, 2.11 ERA) and David Price (16-7, 3.58 ERA) form a lethal one-two punch atop the rotation, while Craig Kimbrel (42/47 SV, 2.79 ERA, 13.7 K/9) can slam the door with the best of them.Of course, the defending champion Astros will have something to say about the AL side of things.Houston leads the majors in starters' ERA (3.20) and team ERA (3.13) Ryon Healy Jersey , and a playoff rotation of Justin Verlander (16-9, 2.60 ERA), Gerrit Cole (15-5 2.92 ERA), Charlie Morton (15-3, 3.18 ERA) and Dallas Keuchel (12-11, 3.75 ERA) is going to be awfully tough.The Yankees lead the majors in home runs (256), the Indians are the first team in MLB history to have four pitchers reach 200 strikeouts in a season, and the A's have the best record in baseball (41-21) since the All-Star break.In other words, don't count anyone out in the American League.The Dodgers are still trying to win their division, yet they're pegged as the favorites on the NL side.Walker Buehler could be a huge X-factor for the Dodgers this postseason.Rob Leiter/Getty ImagesA 10-4 record in their last 14 games gives them some welcome momentum, and with the starting staff of Clayton Kershaw, Walker Buehler http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , Rich Hill and Hyun-Jin Ryu all pitching well right now, there's no question they're dangerous.Likewise, the Cubs are still trying to lock down a division title over the streaking Brewers.With a 3-4 record in their last seven games and a bullpen that's leaking like a sieve, this isn't the same Cubs team we've seen in recent seasons, but their combination of talent and experience could be enough to flip the switch in October.This is uncharted territory for the upstart Braves, but they've had the luxury of clinching their spot well in advance, which has given them time to rest up and properly line up their playoff rotation. They'll go as far as Mike Foltynewicz and Kevin Gausman atop the staffcan carry them.The Rockies and Cardinals are still duking it out for the final wild-card spot, and both teams have been playing extremely well since the All-Star break.It looks like whoever captures the NL pennant this year is going to have their work cut out for them against whichever club emerges from the AL race, but anything can happen in October.All stats courtesy of Baseball Referenceand accurate through Wednesday. OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Dave Kaval can look out his office window and immediately envision a new privately funded ballpark he plans to get built, and it now feels like much more of a reality — with renderings and a real plan, not to mention the city’s support.The Oakland Athletics have found a waterfront location for their ballpark http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , with picturesque views toward San Francisco, the Bay Bridge and Port of Oakland. Plans were announced Wednesday, with the goal to open in 2023. There is no announced price at this stage, and Kaval didn’t want to even share an estimate. A California Environmental Quality Act assessment will begin immediately.Kaval, the enthusiastic, high-energy team president who oversaw a successful new stadium for Major League Soccer’s San Jose Earthquakes, had hoped to finalize a site by the end of the year, and he said the team settled on the Howard Terminal site near Jack London Square after meeting with 500 members of the community and nearly 80 organizations. He plans to host an open house Thursday for community members and fans to learn more.“We did a tremendous amount of community engagement where we listened to people in West Oakland, in East Oakland and I think what we found is this project is bigger than baseball,” Kaval said. “It’s not just a ballpark it’s something that could have a lasting impact in a positive way on our community here in Oakland to ensure the A’s are here for another 50 or 100 years or really basically forever.”The ballpark site is about 6 miles from the Coliseum and there is no mass transit. The A’s and city said they plan to build a gondola that would go from the waterfront area of ballpark over Interstate 880 to downtown.The team’s new downtown offices will have a view of the project, including right from Kaval’s large corner window.The club, coming off its first playoff berth since 2014 Felix Hernandez Jersey , had to switch gears after a proposed plan at Laney College fell through last December . The board of the Peralta Community College District said it had directed the chancellor to discontinue talks about a possible ballpark near Laney College, one of three original sites considered including Howard Terminal.In addition, the A’s intend to redevelop the site around the aging, rundown Oakland Coliseum they have long shared with the NFL’S Oakland Raiders, who plan their own move to Las Vegas. The Golden State Warriors will begin playing in San Francisco at new Chase Center next year.“The significant thing is the A’s are positioning themselves as Oakland’s team. With both the Raiders leaving and the Warriors leaving, the A’s are Oakland’s team,” county supervisor Nate Miley said.A project at the current Coliseum site would begin after the A’s are in their new ballpark, Kaval said, with a hope of making significant progress by 2024.The first step in the A’s acquiring the Coliseum land — either a purchase or lease agreement — will be the City of Oakland buying it from Alameda County, Mayor Libby Schaaf said.“This is a really gorgeous starting line,” Schaaf said of finding the right spot at last.While the baseball operations side can begin to foresee the benefits such as a higher payroll and ability to attract top free agents, that is still years away.“It’s great Hisashi Iwakuma Jersey , and the renderings make it seem real and also hearing Dave every single day on the phone working at it, it seems very real,” general manager David Forst said. “It doesn’t mean a whole lot for baseball until it’s there but we can certainly start looking at it in terms of baseball planning. … I’ve been here a long time. We’ve talked about a lot of iterations of ballparks and places and this is the place we want to be.”Kaval called the A’s will build a “bold, iconic ballpark” and the “design will allow us to blur the boundaries of a traditional ballpark and integrate into the surrounding neighborhood.”“We are excited about the A’s plans at Howard Terminal, not just for the club but for their fans, who deserve a first-class venue to support one of the most competitive franchises in Major League Baseball,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said. “The organization has been consistent in their desire to thrive in the city of Oakland and we are glad that those plans are moving forward toward the opening of a new ballpark in 2023.”The Rays are the other team working on a ballpark plan. Tampa Bay has until Dec. 31 under its agreement with St. Petersburg to explore sites throughout the area.Oakland’s project includes a 120-day action plan with five steps: expanded community and stakeholder engagement, an environmental impact report for Howard Terminal, an agreement with the Port of Oakland, the framework for the Coliseum redevelopment with the city and county and an economic and community benefits package.“We have two projects that we’re proposing,” Kaval said. “They’re both important for the city and they allow us to really honor East Oakland and that part of the city.”
