"It's official. Three teams have clinched playoff spots, meaning there are nine left to fill with 11 days remaining in the 2025 regular season. For the second consecutive year, the Brewers clinched the season's first postseason spot. They were followed by the Phillies, who first clinched a berth and won the National League East title for the second straight year the following night, and then the Cubs."
"The Brewers were the first team to clinch a postseason slot this season, but they have no time to rest on their laurels. Topping the remaining to-do list is the quest to hold off the Phillies for the NL's top seed, which could be key if the teams meet in the NLCS given how dominant they've both been at home. If Milwaukee does that, it'll also tick off its other major remaining items: breaking the franchise mark for wins in a season (96, set in 2011 and tied in 2018) and clinching the NL Central title over the pesky Cubs. -- Doolittle"
Three teams have clinched postseason berths: the Brewers, the Phillies and the Cubs. Nine playoff spots remain with 11 days left in the regular season. The Blue Jays and Dodgers appear likely to clinch soon, while other clubs still must fight for positioning. The Mariners went on a run that returned them to division first place, and the Mets endured a losing streak that nearly removed them from contention. Some playoff races may extend to the final days of the season. An expert panel ranked every team based on current performance and preseason expectations, with ESPN MLB experts offering observations for all 30 teams.
