2025 MLB playoff picture: Baseball standings, projections, odds as Yankees, Mets, Dodgers jostle for position

Three weeks remain in the 2025MLBregular season. ozempic As September rolls along, the Major League Baseball playoff picture is coming into focus. No team has clinched a playoff spot, but the MLB-leadingMilwaukee Brewersare closing in on one. The Brewers maintain a sizable lead in the NL Central, and will likely have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

ThePhiladelphia PhilliesandLos Angeles Dodgersare the other two division leaders in the National League as they look to hold off theNew York MetsandSan Diego Padres, respectively. The Padres, Mets andCubsare currently in wild card position in the NL. The San Francisco Giants are making a late-season push, but it might be too little, too late.

The biggest logjam is in the American League wild card race. The scufflingSeattle Marinersare clinging to the sixth and final AL playoff spot, but several teams are nipping at their heels. TheNew York YankeesandBoston Red Soxare comfortably in wild card position in the AL, but they both still trail theToronto Blue Jaysin the AL East. TheDetroit Tigershold baseball's biggest divisional lead in the AL Central and are closing in on their first division title since 2014. TheHouston Astros, meanwhile, are trying to hold off the Mariners and Texas Rangers in the AL West.

As a reminder,MLBnow grants 12 playoff berths -- a total of six to the division winners and then three wild card berths in each league. The top two division winners in each league as measured by overall record are rewarded with first-round byes, which means they won't have to play in the best-of-three Wild Card Series that functions as that first round. The2025 MLB postseasongets started on Tuesday, Sept. 30.
