The top two teams in each league—the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians in the AL, and the Milwaukee Brewers and Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL—earned byes into the division series.

Several teams are entering the postseason with notable storylines. The Yankees may be without three-time MVP Aaron Judge, who is recovering from a calf injury, although he has indicated he hopes to return for the wild card round. The Cubs are monitoring the status of Alex Bregman, who suffered facial fractures but has not been placed on the injured list. Meanwhile, the Astros’ Yordan Alvarez narrowly missed out on a Triple Crown but remains a key player in Houston’s lineup.

The wild-card winners will advance to face the top seeds in their respective division series, which start Saturday, (October 3). The postseason will progress through the best-of-five division series and best-of-seven league championship series, culminating in the World Series.
