"The 2025 MLB postseason field is set with all 12 teams - six apiece in the American League and National League - having punched their tickets to October baseball. The final day of the regular season saw the Cleveland Guardians and Toronto Blue Jays clinch the AL Central and AL East, respectively. That pushed the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees to Wild Card spots. The Cincinnati Reds nabbed the final NL Wild Card spot despite falling to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday."
"The Reds held the tiebreaker over the New York Mets and advanced when they were defeated by the Miami Marlins. It represents Cincinnati's first postseason appearance since 2020. They finished 83-79 under first-year manager Terry Francona and now take on the defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Wild Card Series. The Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies clinched first-round byes into the NL Division Series by virtue of finishing with the top two records."
The 2025 MLB postseason field features 12 teams, evenly split between the American and National Leagues. Cleveland clinched the AL Central and Toronto clinched the AL East on the final regular-season day, while Detroit and New York earned Wild Card berths. Cincinnati secured the final NL Wild Card via a tiebreaker and will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Wild Card Series, marking Cincinnati's first postseason trip since 2020. The Brewers and Phillies earned NL Division Series byes, and the Blue Jays and Mariners received automatic byes into the ALDS. Wild Card series matchups and game times are set.
