If the playoffs started today...

We've reached the All-Star break so it's time to take a look at how the playoffs would shape up if they started today and we'll compare that with pvc4twenty's predictions.

National League
PVC's picks:
Arizona
Tampa Bay
Toronto
Scranton
New Orleans
Chicago

If the playoffs started today:
Arizona
Tampa Bay
Toronto
Augusta
Scranton
Memphis

Pretty close. Memphis leads New Orleans by four games in the South but the Cubbies are a long way from a playoff spot with their 42-49 record. They're currently nine back of Scranton for the final wild card spot and 21 back of Toronto in the North.

American League
PVC's picks:
Austin
Louisville
Philadelphia
San Francisco

If the playoffs started today:
Austin
Las Vegas
Louisville
Chicago
Portland
San Francisco

PVC did say he doesn't know much about the American League which was his reasoning for only picking four teams. While he's correct on three to this point, Philadelphia has had its share of struggles this season. But even with a sub-.500 record, the Athletics are still in the playoff hunt, just four games back of the Slumpbusters for the final wild card spot.
