"We're down to the final days of the 2025 regular season and in for some exciting baseball, as there are still quite a number of teams that have something to play for -- including a few who are fighting tooth and nail for their postseason lives. The Tigers, Guardians, Mets, Reds and Diamondbacks fall into that category -- and all moved significantly in our final power rankings of the season."
"Getting healthy on the mound is the top priority for the Brewers heading into the postseason as Jose Quintana and Brandon Woodruff are the latest pitchers to go down. With Trevor Megill, Logan Henderson and DL Hall also on the mend, it's a good thing the Brewers have a bye and go straight to the division series. That extra time could be a difference-maker."
With only days remaining in the 2025 regular season, numerous teams still have postseason stakes on the line. The Tigers, Guardians, Mets, Reds and Diamondbacks are among the clubs fighting for playoff positions. Detroit surrendered a 12½-game lead and now trails Cleveland after the Guardians beat the Tigers on Tuesday and Wednesday, capping one of the most dramatic late-season comebacks or collapses. The Mets hold a one-game lead over Cincinnati and Arizona for the final wild-card spot after a late losing skid threatened their chances. Every team received rankings informed by season performance and expectations. The Brewers enter the postseason battling pitching injuries, with several starters on the mend but likely available by Oct. 4 thanks to a division-series bye.
