Ichiro Hits #237 With Games To Go
    AL Season 8 Standings

    Ichiro Suzuki swatted hit #237 this week, shattering the old single-season record of 218 shared by Blue Waver Eddie Collins in Year 2 and Legend Joe Medwick in Year 5.

Going into the last series of Season 8, we still have two playoff slots up for grabs. The 2nd Wild Card slots for both leagues are still yet to be determined.

In the AL Green Bay holds a 2 game lead over Wallkill and Hudson for that 2nd slot.

In the NL Truckee holds a 5 game lead over Phoenix for the 2nd slot. Phoenix has 2 rainout games that will only be played if they have playoff implications at the end of the season.

As for the other playoff slots:

In the AL Connecticut has secured the AL East Division crown, Huntington Beach wins the AL West and has the home field advantage through the AL Playoffs.

Laguna Beach has clinched their wildcard berth.

In the NL Coastline wins the NL East and has the home field advantage through the NL Playoffs. The NL West Division crown is still up for grabs as Utah has a slim 1 game lead over Truckee heading into the last series of the season.
