September is almost here and that means the last month of the MLB season as teams race to the postseason. The last month of the season has been a thrilling one in the past as there are only few games left for someone to make a run at the postseason. In 2011 September would get one of its best races in recent memory. Going into the last month of the season the Boston Red Sox would look to be in complete control of the AL wild card.

The MLB is beginning their last push to the postseason where teams become mathematically eliminated or begin to clinch their playoff spots. As this begins to happen many teams become irrelevant in the last few weeks of the season as they play teams that are already going to make the playoffs while they have no shot.

As the Season continues to close out there is still some time to look back at some of the seasons from certain teams. There are a handful of teams left battling for a realistic shot at the wild card spot but many more are beginning to drop out of the race. They may not be mathematically out of the postseason but in the way that many have played will not make the postseason.
