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.
