As we gear up for the final stretch of the 2021 MLB regular season, there are a number of major storylines to keep tabs on.
Atop the list is the intense National League West race between the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers. L.A. -- the defending World Series champs -- trails the cinderella story by only one game.
