The MLB postseason is just around the corner. And with one game left in the regular season – the second of the Mets-Braves doubleheader – the playoff picture is almost complete.

Let’s break down the postseason standings and the playoff round.

Which teams are participating in the play-offs?

Los Angeles Evaders: The Dodgers clinched the NL West title, the No. 1 seed in the NL bracket and the best MLB record overall, meaning they have a bye through the entire postseason via the wild-card round and home field advantage.

Philadelphia Phillies: The Phillies captured the NL East title and the No. 2 seed in the NL bracket, meaning they have a bye through the wild-card round and home field advantage in the NLDS.

Milwaukee Brewers: The Brewers were the first team to reach their division, winning the NL Central on September 18. They secured the No. 3 seed in the NL series and will host a wild-card series against the No. 6 seed.

San Diego Padres: The Padres earned the top wildcard in the NL bracket. They will be the No. 4 seed and host a wild card series against the No. 5 seed.

New York Mets: The Mets earned a wild card in the NL round. They will be the No. 5 or No. 6 seed depending on the outcome of Monday’s second match.

New York Yankees: The Yankees clinched the AL East title and the No. 1 seed in the AL series, meaning they have a bye through the wild-card round and home field advantage through the AL playoffs.

Cleveland Guardians: The Guardians captured the AL Central title and second place in the AL series, meaning they have a bye through the wild-card round and home field advantage in the ALDS.

Houston Astros: The Astros took the AL West title and the No. 3 seed in the AL bracket. They will host a wild card series against the No. 6 seed Tigers.

Baltimore Orioles: The Orioles earned the top wild card in the AL bracket. They will be the No. 4 seed and host a wild-card series against the No. 5 seed Royals.

Kansas City Royals: The Royals earned a wild card into the AL bracket. They will be the No. 5 seed.

Detroit Tigers: The Tigers earned a wild card entry into the AL bracket. They will be the sixth seed.

Who still needs to clinch?

Two teams – the Braves and the Diamondbacks – are competing for the final wild card spot in the National League. The Diamondbacks’ regular season is over.

After a postponement due to Hurricane Helene, the Mets and Braves will play a doubleheader in Atlanta on Monday to determine the NL wild-card bracket. The Mets clinched a wild card with their chaotic 8-7 victory in Game 1. If the Braves win the second game, they take a wild card and the D-backs are eliminated. If the Braves are swept on Monday, they will be eliminated and the D-backs will make the playoffs.

What does the play-off round look like?

If the Mets and Braves split the doubleheader, Atlanta will be the No. 5 seed and New York will be the No. 6 seed, based on Atlanta winning the season series between the two. The Braves then head to San Diego to take on the Padres, while the Mets return to Milwaukee to play the Brewers.

If the Mets win 2-0 on Monday, they will head to San Diego as the No. 5 seed and Arizona will play No. 6 seed Milwaukee in a rematch of last year’s wild-card round.
