There are two weeks left in the regular season, and the hunt for the postseason is heating up.
The wild-card races remain tight, and the Cubs slipped in the National League standings after a 4–2 loss to the Reds on Tuesday night. The Brewers beat the Padres 3–1 to tie Chicago again for the second NL wild card.
In the American League, the Athletics are two games ahead of the Rays in the wild-card standings. Tampa Bay lost 7–5 to the Dodgers at the start of a critical eight-game stretch against Los Angeles, Red Sox and the Yankees that could make or break their playoff chances.
