The Nationals just swept the Cubs in a weekend series and could still catch the Atlanta Braves, who they trail by 5.5 games. The Washington Nationals (73-57) and Chicago Cubs (69-61) hold those two spots, but that could change, and then change again. The NL wild card race remains tight, with seven teams within five games of two spots. This week's baseball report looks at the wild card races in the National and American Leagues, and highlights another home run record in a 2019 season dominated by the dinger. And in August, which still has a lot of baseball left, the team set the record for most team home runs in a month. The Yankees' season seems destined to continue into October, and has for awhile now. Intra-league series between contenders in the coming weeks will have a lot to say about the teams that survive. The National League has seven teams with realistic wild card hopes. Still more drama is unfolding in the wild card race, where multiple teams in both leagues continue to vie for a spot in their league's play-in game.
