WHERE TO WATCH SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS VS TEXAS RANGERS: TV CHANNEL, START TIME, STREAMING FOR AUG. 5
It's the home stretch of the 2026 MLB season with teams jockeying for playoff position in hopes for lengthy postseason runs.
Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani continues his quest for an NL MVP three-peat, but sluggers Juan Soto and James Wood are also compiling impressive campaigns.
From NFL plays to college sports scores, all the top sports news you need to know every day.
The Dodgers once again look like the team to beat in the National League, having already amassed a double-digit games lead in the NL West. Meanwhile, the American League features astonishing parity; just one-third of the league had a winning record coming out of the All-Star Break, and no team had a division lead greater than three games.
Some standings surprises include the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets, both of whom occupied the basement of their respective divisions despite lofty expectations. Conversely, the Chicago White Sox have flipped the script on their recent run of malaise and are in a prime position to claim a postseason spot in 2026.
