As May ends, even some weaker teams have reasons for hope in baseball’s playoff chase

The Detroit Tigers are 25-26 and haven’t spent a day above .500 all season. They’re also one game out of first place.

As Memorial Day arrives, some of the weaker teams in baseball are still very much within striking distance in the postseason race. In fact, FanGraphs lists only five teams in the major leagues with less than a 5 per cent chance of reaching the postseason: the Royals, Athletics, Nationals, Reds and Rockies. And even Cincinnati is only four games out of first in the NL Central.
