It wouldn't be a milestones chase without the Machine featuring prominently. Pujols is five home runs away from tying Willie Mays (660) for fifth all time. Additionally, his 658 doubles are seven behind George Brett and 10 behind Craig Biggio, who sit sixth and fifth in history, respectively.

The 36-year-old is nearing a major career achievement following an 11-strikeout performance against the Athletics on Thursday. Verlander now needs just 19 more punchouts to become only the 18th pitcher in MLB history to register 3,000. The Astros ace will have three more starts this season. 

The 39-year-old designated hitter has quietly inched closer to joining the 400-HR club. Cruz is currently sitting at 396.

Speaking of Cruz, the Twins are mired in an ongoing battle with the Yankees for homer supremacy. Both clubs have already broken the previous record for most home runs in a single season (267) and have a shot to set the new bar somewhere above 300. 

Move over Aaron Judge - there's a new slugging phenom in New York. Alonso currently has 47 homers and is chasing down Judge's rookie HR record of 52, set just two years ago in 2017.

The reigning NL ROY is closing in on rarefied air. The 21-year-old superstar currently has 39 homers and 36 steals, meaning he needs just one more dinger and four more bags to become the youngest member of the 40-40 club, and only the fifth in MLB history.

He's not the prolific slugger he once was, but Miggy is still nearing some pretty impressive company on the all-time doubles list. At 577, Cabrera is one behind Wade Boggs, four behind Cap Anson, six behind Robin Yount, and eight behind Rafael Palmiero, who is 20th all time.

The 2019 season could become the first in history to yield four 100-win teams. The Yankees, Astros, and Dodgers all seem like locks to reach the century mark, leaving it up to the Braves to win nine of their final 14 games.

There's two sides to every coin, as 2019 has plenty of 100-loss clubs, too. This could become the first season with five teams hitting triple-digit losses, but it'll take the Blue Jays dropping 10 of their final 15 games to make it happen. The Tigers already lost their 100th, with the Royals, Marlins, and Orioles in tow. There's only been one other year with four 100-loss clubs.
