Five MLB Teams Chase Final Playoff Berths Amid Wednesday's Critical Results
Five MLB clubs can secure postseason spots on Wednesday as the regular season nears its end. The Cleveland Guardians, Chicago White Sox, Chicago Cubs, Philadelphia Phillies, and San Diego Padres face specific outcomes to clinch. Six teams have already locked in playoff berths, while thirteen are eliminated. The Cubs have the most paths to clinch, needing either a win over the Marlins or a Rockies victory. The Phillies require a win over the Brewers plus a Rockies or Padres win. The Padres need a win over the Dodgers and a Rockies win. The White Sox need a win over the Royals and a Mets win. The Guardians need a win over the Red Sox plus a Mets or Astros win. The AL Central race could determine the top seed and Wild Card bye. The Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles face elimination risks depending on doubleheader results.
