The undecideds in the MLB playoff race remained undecided on Wednesday night.
Five teams had a shot at securing their postseason tickets, but all of them came up short. So, they’ll be left waiting at least one more day to snag a seat at the table.
Some feel inevitable, but others are way too close to call. The AL West, for instance, has a tie between the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros for now, but the latter holds the spot by way of a tiebreaker. In the AL Central, the Cleveland Guardians have just a one-game cushion on the resurgent Chicago White Sox.
All of this will get settled over the next few days, but let’s look at all of the pertinent races snapshot-style before examining Thursday’s clinching scenarios.
