Overview

• Eight clubs have clinched postseason spots: Blue Jays, Brewers, Cubs, Dodgers, Mariners, Padres, Phillies and Yankees.
• Milwaukee and Philadelphia have clinched their divisions, and Chicago has locked a wild-card berth, while other NL and AL slots are still in play.
• The NL wild-card race is a one-game spread with the Mets narrowly ahead of the Reds and Diamondbacks as of Wednesday morning.
• In the AL, Boston, Detroit, Cleveland and Houston are vying for three remaining places, with the Guardians 16–2 since Sept. 5 to pull even with the Tigers in the Central.
• The 12-team bracket uses best-of-three Wild Card Series hosted entirely by the higher seeds from Sept. 30–Oct. 2 before the Division Series (Oct. 4–11), Championship Series (Oct. 12–21) and World Series (Oct. 24–Nov. 1).
