The Opener: AL, Padres, Brewers, Pitchers' Duel
"As we enter the final week of the 2025 regular season, here are three things we'll be keeping an eye on: 1. AL contenders prepare for a hectic week: No teams in the American League have games scheduled for today, giving everyone in the league a breather ahead of a wild final week of the regular season. Only the Blue Jays have clinched a postseason spot among the AL's teams, and even they haven't clinched a division title."
"Over in the NL, one big series between playoff contenders is set to commence today when the Brewers head to San Diego. Milwaukee has already clinched the NL Central but will still need to fend of the Phillies to secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Padres, meanwhile, have not yet clinched a playoff berth (although they're very close to doing so), and they also sit just three games back of the Dodgers in the NL West."
No American League teams have games scheduled today, providing a breather before a decisive final week of the regular season. Only the Blue Jays have clinched a postseason spot, and they have not secured a division title. The Yankees and Mariners appear all but guaranteed playoff berths, while the Red Sox and Tigers remain in realistic danger of missing October. The Astros and Guardians are competing for the final AL playoff spot, with upcoming series between Cleveland and Detroit, Boston and Toronto, and Detroit and Boston set to shape the outcome. In the National League, the Brewers travel to San Diego where matchups include Freddy Peralta vs Nick Pivetta.
