This page has MLB's 2021 baseball standings as graphs. These are generated each morning (Eastern Time), after the previous day's scores are reported at www.baseball-reference.com and related pages. A full description of the data is at my original runnings page that I wrote the year after the Red Sox won the World Series from the Yankees. Okay, it was the St. Louis Cardinals, but beating the Yankees after losing the first three games was much more impressive than winning the World Series in four games.
The wildcard code picks out the top contenders. Instead of watching the top four or five teams, I try to include contenders and other teams that are close in the standings. The graphs show the division leaders with narrow lines and contenders with thick lines. Note that some of the contenders can be well above the leader in another division.
By the way, Baseball Prospectus has an interesting projected standings page that shows the possible final standings and uncertainty.
Some days I feel that may be the last person to access the WWW on a desktop computer. For anyone who reads this on a phone, feel free to drop me a note about how well this works. I promise to read it, I don't promise to do anything about it.
