MLB 2026 standings and playoff picture

Overview

As the 2026 MLB regular season enters its final week, six of the twelve postseason spots have been officially secured. In the National League, the Milwaukee Brewers maintain the best record in baseball and have clinched the NL Central, joined by division winners the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves.

In the American League, the Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, and Boston Red Sox have all clinched playoff berths. The Rays, having reached 94 wins, lead the AL East and have the opportunity to secure the division title as early as Tuesday during a doubleheader against the Yankees.

The remaining postseason spots are highly contested. In the National League Wild Card race, the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres are currently tied for the top position, with the Philadelphia Phillies trailing by one game. The Cubs currently hold a tiebreaker advantage over the Padres. The Arizona Diamondbacks remain in contention but face a difficult path to qualification.

In the American League, the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox are locked in a tight race for the AL Central, while the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros battle for the AL West. The Toronto Blue Jays are also fighting to stay in contention for a wild card spot.

Player health has emerged as a critical factor heading into October. New York Yankees star Aaron Judge is managing a right calf strain that may keep him sidelined until the end of the season, and Los Angeles Dodgers MVP Shohei Ohtani's health remains a concern. Additionally, Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman is recovering from facial fractures sustained in a recent accident.
