Danton Boller has dominated the pool for the entire month of August, but a few tight categories could make things interesting:

- Mallex Smith has already tied Adalberto Mondesi (IL, shoulder) in AL steals; an outright lead for Smith puts John Agnello in first.
- Jacob deGrom has matched the injured Max Scherzer in NL strikeouts (giving Amy Gill a unique pick point!); Scherzer losing the lead would move Daltry/Lovejoy up a notch in the standings.
- teammates Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole are one-two in nearly every AL pitching category, so lots of possibilities down the stretch here...
- Christian Yelich, Jeff McNeil and Bryan Reynolds are splitting hairs vying for the NL batting title (today Reynolds edges Yelich .33538 to .33501), with Danton and John both benefitting from a Yelich lead.
- Brad Hand is two saves behind AL leader Aroldis Chapman; a Hand lead puts Jud and Michael back in contention, but still behind Danton in HBPs.
