A look at what’s happening around the majors on Monday:WILD SHOWDOWNMilwaukee leads the NL wild-card race by two games over St. Louis going into a three-game series at the Cardinals. St. Louis has a 1½-game lead for the second wild card over Colorado Willie Horton Jersey , which hosts Philadelphia.Right-hander Jack Flaherty (8-8, 3.08 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Cardinals and right-hander Chase Anderson (9-8, 3.93 ERA) for the Brewers. Flaherty is 1-1 with a 2.35 ERA in four career starts against the Brewers.St. Louis has won six of seven coming in and Milwaukee three of four.SCOREBOARD WATCHERSThe Rockies could have a less-motivated opponent in four games at Coors Field. The Phillies were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday, but at 78-77 hope to finish above .500 in manager Gabe Kapler’s first season.Phillies right-hander Zach Eflin (11-7, 4.09 ERA) will try to win his third straight start. Colorado opens its final homestand with left-hander Tyler Anderson (6-9 http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-victor-martinez-jersey , 4.76).ON THE ROADAfter failing to clinch a wild card at home, Oakland plays at Seattle and gives right-hander Daniel Mengden (7-6, 4.00 ERA) his first start since June 23. Mengden is 1-0 with 1.83 ERA in five relief appearances since being called up from Triple-A Nashville on Aug. 27.NOT QUITE DEAD YETThe Rays would be a tough opponent in a wild-card game. Fortunately for the rest of the AL playoff teams, they likely won’t get there.Tampa Bay is 16-5 in September and a major league-best 25-7 since Aug. 19. And the Rays could send Cy Young Award hopeful Blake Snell (21-5, 1.90 ERA) to the mound in the winner-take-all game. But Tampa Bay would have to win all seven games on its final homestand and Oakland would have to lose its remaining six games for the Rays to overtake the A’s. The Rays host the Yankees and playoff-bound New York has plenty to play for Nick Castellanos Jersey , trying to stay ahead of Oakland and host the wild-card game.HOME-FIELD DISADVANTAGEThe NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers (87-69) are one game behind the NL East champion Braves (88-68) heading into the season’s final week, and whichever team finishes with a better record could end up getting home-field advantage in the NL Division Series. The question is whether either team would want it. Atlanta and Los Angeles have better records on the road than at home. The Braves finished their second season at SunTrust Park with a 43-38 record there and were 12th in the majors in average attendance. The Dodgers have great fan support, drawing nearly 47,000 a game, but went 44-37 at home http://www.tigersfanproshop.com/authentic-james-mccann-jersey , their worst record at Chavez Ravine since 2011. Josh Donaldson's tenure with the Toronto Blue Jays could be nearing its end, with Scott Mitchell of TSN reporting Saturday that the player's locker has been cleared out within the past 24 hours.Mitchell noted he is "not sure this means anything," but it adds to speculation that has been growing about a potential trade before the August 31 deadline.Jon Heyman of Fancred reported last week the Blue Jays planned to put him on waivers and trade him once he returns to the lineup.The third baseman has only played 36 games this season and has been on the disabled list since June 1 with a calf injury. His timetable for a return has also been somewhat of a mystery since being placed on the 60-day DL.While a team spokesman said earlier this month Donaldson was "ramping up intensity in Florida over the next several days," per Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com, he still hasn't rejoined the major league club.The 32-year-old has struggled even when healthy this year Shane Greene Jersey , batting .234 with five home runs and 16 RBI in his limited playing time.Still, it makes sense for Toronto to see what it can get in a trade considering he is set to hit free agency and the team is well out of a playoff spot.On the other hand, a contending team can add a veteran player who is just three years removed from winning the MVP award. He earned MVP votes last season as well while posting a .944 OPS with 33 home runs.If he can get himself healthy, Donaldson could be a low-risk, high-reward addition for the home stretch of the season.
