There are still a couple weeks left to go in the 2022 MLB regular season, but a few teams are already looking toward October.
The Dodgers have officially secured the season's first playoff berth, and the Houston Astros, New York Mets, Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees followed next. Meanwhile, clubs such as the Seattle Mariners, Tampa Bay Rays, Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres, are battling it out for the remaining wild-card spots. Beyond division races, there are many storylines to watch as the regular season comes to an end and October begins, such as Seattle's attempt to break a 21-year playoff drought, Aaron Judge's race to 62 home runs and Albert Pujols' quest for 700 career home runs.
