With less than a week left in the regular season, there are eight teams alive in the American League playoff race.

Entering Friday's action, the Yankees (East), Tigers (Central) and Rangers (West) are leading their respective divisions. None of the teams have clinched.

In addition, the Orioles, Rays, White Sox, Athletics and Angels are still alive.

Baltimore, which leads the Wild Card standings, is just one game behind New York for first place. Oakland currently holds the No. 2 Wild Card slot. Los Angeles and Tampa Bay are both just two games behind the A's for the final playoff berth.

Chicago is six games back in the Wild Card race and will likely have to surpass Detroit and win the division in order to make the postseason.
