The dog days of summer are winding down, and the playoff picture is starting to take shape. As we head into the final month of the regular season, teams are jockeying for position and trying to make a push for the postseason. The latest MLB power rankings are out, and there's some significant movement, particularly in the American League where the wild-card race is heating up.
