"The Los Angeles Dodgers won the National League West title for a 12th time in the past 13 seasons and extended their postseason streak to the second-longest in MLB history, but face a bit of a new October path as they look to repeat as World Series champions. Because the Dodgers had the third-best record among NL division winners, they are scheduled to start the playoffs in the Wild Card Series."
"Entering the penultimate day of the regular season, the Reds occupy the final Wild Card spot in the NL bracket. They are tied with the New York Mets at 82-78, but the Reds hold the head-to-head tiebreaker and thus control their own destiny. The Reds' magic number to clinch a postseason berth is currently two. They are looking to earn their first playoff appearance since 2020 and first in a full season since 2013."
Los Angeles clinched the National League West title for the 12th time in 13 seasons and extended its postseason streak to the second-longest in MLB history. Finishing with the third-best record among NL division winners requires the team to begin the playoffs in the Wild Card Series. That marks only the third franchise appearance in a Wild Card scenario after 2020 and the 2021 Wild Card Game. The Wild Card opponent will be either the Cincinnati Reds or New York Mets. The Reds and Mets entered the penultimate regular-season day tied at 82-78, with the Reds holding the head-to-head tiebreaker and a magic number of two.
