Despite dropping the last three games in August, the Knights went 20-7 for the month. Brooklyn ran away from its competition this season, clinching the division on August 20. By the end of August, the Knights had an astounding 39 game lead over the Grizzlies. On August 15, the Knights announced an extension for right fielder Maurílio Godim. Godim will pocket $38 million over the next five years. He was an important signing for the team, which faced the prospect of losing up to four key players (Conley, Godim, Gómez, and Usquiano) to free agency.

The other three divisions are still up for grabs with leads ranging between four and six games.
