The 2022 MLB season is in the sprint to the finish line. When you're not watching Albert Pujols blast beyond 700 career homers, or Aaron Judge try to set the American League homer record ... or win the Triple Crown, it's all about the playoff push. To keep you up to date on the rush toward the postseason, we're laying out the playoff picture every day from now until Game 162 on Oct. 5, and highlighting games that might end up making the difference.
American LeagueWild-card series: No. 3 Cleveland Guardians vs. No. 6 Tampa Bay Rays No. 1 seed: Los Angeles Dodgers Wild-card series: No. 3 St. Louis Cardinals vs. No. 6 Philadelphia Phillies What are the key races remaining?t's all about seeding now. And even those races are dwindling. The Blue Jays clinched the AL's top wild-card seed on Monday night, guaranteeing Toronto will host the wild-card series this weekend against either the Mariners or the Rays.
The Phillies' playoff drought is officially over, but they still have to jockey for positioning. They are one game back of the Padres for the No. 5 seed, and own the head-to-head tiebreaker should the clubs finish deadlocked. The No. 5 seed will likely face the Mets, while the No. 6 seed would play the Cardinals.
The Braves and Mets are still not technically locked into their slots yet, either. Atlanta dropped a game to the Marlins Tuesday night, leaving the NL East up in the air for at least one more day. Any Braves win or Mets loss would seal the deal.: All the Braves have to do is win one game of this Marlins series and they clinch the NL East, along with the No. 2 seed and a bye into the Division Series.
