The logjam atop the AL and NL wild-card standings has put even more pressure on teams to come out of the All-Star break strong. While some have shown they are true contenders, others have all but dropped out of the race.

Who’s hot?

Oakland A’s » The A’s won eight of their first nine games since the break and have swept the Twins and Yankees. Their pitching staff allowed more than four runs only once in those nine games and has an AL-best 3.37 ERA. The A’s offense relies heavily on the production of 25-year-old outfielder Josh Reddick and 26-year-old rookie center fielder Yoenis Cespedes.
