The StatMan Contender Index is an index that looks at a team's remaining schedule, its standing, and the number of remaining games in the season to determine how much of a chance the team has of making the playoffs. It is on a scale from 0 to 1 with a higher number meaning a greater chance of making the playoffs. Click here for the explanation of the StatMan Contender Index (SCI).

Analysis: Philadelphia continues their march to a Red October, as their chances went up over 12.7%. Most people would say the Phillies have a 100% chance of making the playoffs. But, the Braves picked up three games on the Phillies, as did the Brewers in the quest for the best record in the National League. The second biggest jump (10.4%) belongs to Atlanta, who is now eight games ahead in the Wild Card race. San Francisco is the team with the best SCI which does not to have a division lead or a Wild Card lead. The Giants are ranked higher than Arizona based on their opponents the rest of the way. Another race that seemingly got a bit tighter, though it really did not, is in the American League West, where Texas dropped a smidge in the SCI and the Angels gained a percentage point in their quest to stay alive in the playoff hunt.
