Major League Baseball's postseason races are heating up through the first week of September.
The San Francisco Giants won nine of 10 games entering Saturday and have pulled within four games of the New York Mets in the NL wild-card standings, ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks and fading Cincinnati Reds.
In the AL wild-card chase, the Seattle Mariners have lost seven of 10 and have two teams – the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals – within a game for the final playoff spot. Seattle's struggles also opened the door for the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians.
The 2025 regular season ends on Sunday, Sept. 28.
