The top teams have not allowed any of the other teams to close the gap and it may have served for some of them to make sure that their play-off spots are set.
The Los Angeles Dodgers continue at the helm, standing at 106 wins and 47 losses, and they became the first team to clinch a spot in the MLB playoffs 2022.
The Second Seed in the National League comes down to the match between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves later this week.
