The Yankees and Blue Jays have both clinched postseason spots but will fight for the American League East title over the final three games. The Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers will also be scoreboard-watching this weekend as the AL Central rivals jockey for the division title and a wild card spot.

Here's the latest MLB playoff picture, including AL and NL wild card standings, as the 2025 regular season wraps up

Four years after signing Trevor Story to a huge contract, the deal paid off in a big way this season. He had his best season by FanGraphs' WAR since 2019. Aroldis Chapman turned back the clock in a big way with one of the best seasons of his career at the age of 37.

When are the MLB playoff games today? Here's how to watch the ALCS and NLCS games and an updated postseason bracket.
