The National League wild-card standings are well, wild, with six teams separated by just 3½ games entering Monday.

The Philadelphia Phillies (67-57) hold the top spot, with the San Francisco Giants in second (65-59) and Chicago Cubs (64-59) in possession of the final postseason berth. Just one game behind the Cubs are the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cincinnati Reds and Miami Marlins, all 64-61.

We could see some shakeup in the days to come as the Phillies (two games up) host the Giants for three games mid-week and the Reds visit the Diamondbacks over the weekend.

It's been an uneven August for a few teams in the hunt, with the Diamondbacks winning seven of their last nine (after a nine-game losing streak) and the Giants dropping nine of 12. All that streakiness in the NL West comes, of course, as the Los Angeles Dodgers have run away with the division.

Those Dodgers have broken into the top three in this week's MLB power rankings:
