MLB playoff picture: Wild card standings, AL and NL postseason bracket
Keep up on the dying days of the MLB pennant race.
The Major League Baseball season is down to its final days with plenty of uncertainty and playoff spots still to be clinched.
In the AL West, the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros have been exchanging first place in recent days and it's the Rangers who hold a one-game leading entering play on Tuesday, Sept. 22. The Cleveland Guardians have overtaken the Chicago White Sox in the AL Central, but the Sox are still likely to earn a wild card spot.
The Chicago Cubs , San DIego Padres and Philadelphia Phillies basically have the NL's three wild card spots locked up, but only one game separating the three teams in the seeding.
The regular season ends on Sunday, Sept. 27, with the best-of-three wild card series beginning two days later.
