MLB playoff picture: Astros, Dodgers on World Series collision course

The second half of the Major League Baseball season is set to kick off Friday. 

There are just 12 teams -- 5 in the National League, 7 in the American League -- with a winning record at the All-Star break. There are six teams in both leagues playing above .550, with three from the same division — the NL West.

The Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers are the only teams on pace to finish with more than 100 victories this season.
