With three weeks left in the season, the 1937 New York Yankees have pulled even with the 1935 Chicago Cubs atop the standings. Both the Yankees and Cubs still have the bye to come, so they only have eight games remaining. The third-place 1941 Brooklyn Dodgers and fourth-place 1940 Cincinnati Reds are close, and they both have 12 games left.
The Cubs, who are 4-4 in their last eight games, are off in week 7. The Yankees, who are coming off a sweep of the 1931 Philadelphia Athletics, have a big test coming up as they face the Reds in week 7.
