"Fantasy baseball's Week 25, the penultimate week of the MLB season, represents the first of two-week championship matchups in ESPN standard head-to-head leagues. It's the busier of the two weeks, as Week 25 has 96 total games and 12 teams scheduled to play seven times. Week 26, by comparison, has just 90 total games with all 30 teams scheduled for exactly six games apiece."
"Expect to see more playoff spots, home-field advantages for early series and perhaps even specific seeds clinched throughout the week. The Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays are also in position to secure playoff spots. In the case of the Phillies, they could clinch the National League East as early as Monday. The Tigers could lock up the American League Central title, as the Brewers could the National League Central, before Week 25 concludes."
Week 25 is the busier of the final two MLB weeks with 96 total games and 12 teams scheduled for seven games, making it a critical fantasy championship week. Week 26 has 90 games and a uniform six-game slate for all 30 teams. Several teams have clinched postseason spots, including the Brewers and Phillies, while the Tigers and Blue Jays remain positioned to clinch their own berths. Clinches and seeding decisions can prompt teams to rest regulars the day after clinching. Two makeup doubleheaders push four teams onto seven-game schedules, increasing lineup opportunities and roster decisions.
