Overview
- Cincinnati clinches the NL’s final wild card with a win in Milwaukee or a Mets loss in Miami, while New York advances only with a win and a Reds defeat.
- The Reds and Mets are tied at 83-78 with Cincinnati owning a 4-2 head-to-head edge; today’s starters are Brady Singer vs. Freddy Peralta and Sean Manaea vs. Edward Cabrera.
- Whoever claims the last NL spot opens a Wild Card Series at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday against the defending champion Dodgers.
- Cleveland and Detroit are both in the postseason, and the AL Central goes to the Guardians with a win or Tigers loss due to the head-to-head tiebreaker.
- Toronto holds the AL East tiebreaker over the Yankees, so a Blue Jays win secures the division as all final games start in the same afternoon window.
