MLB 2025

I wish the Diamondbacks and Giants would have a one game playoff today on the final day of the regular season, one of them would finish 81 - 81 and wouldn’t be either good or bad but just sort of a squishy “meh…”

Jays win! Ten years since they last won the division in 2015. Tied with NYY for best record in the AL but Toronto is bestest because of the magical tie-breaker. Yankees fans probably won’t be happy that their squad is seeded 4th despite having a better record than all the other AL teams. I’m glad it didn’t go the other way and the Jays were in that position 😅
 
My wife reminded me while we listened to the Reds game that they could lose and still get the wildcard IF the Mets lost as well.

While it would have been sweeter for the Reds to have won yesterday, @Bent77 brings the right perspective.

Mets spit the bit. What a collapse.
Yep. They stumbled a bit in June but appeared to bounce back in July... And then they went 11-17 and 10-15 in August and September respectively. Ouch. Funny thing is they were still so close to a Wild Card appearance in spite of their poor August and September. This season's final WC teams are unfortunately not super inspiring to me. I'd rather see the two-team WC format based on the results of this season. Cubs vs. Padres and Yankees vs. Red Sox, one game play-in, and then move along to the Division Series.
 
Glad to see the Cubs finally lock down the first seed on Saturday after a losing streak. They're going to need all the help they can get with Cade Horton, the best starting pitcher, out and the other top two guys (Boyd and Imanaga) currently struggling.
