Here\u2019s a recent MLB story via The Associated Press:<\/p>\n

From the shore of Lake Erie to the Kentucky border, baseball\u2019s regular season is set for a dramatic final week in the state of Ohio.<\/p>\n

The Cleveland Guardians have a chance to complete the biggest comeback in the history of divisional play. They now trail Detroit by one game in the AL Central after once being 15 1\/2 back. At the southern end of the state, Cincinnati pulled into a tie Sunday for the final wild card in the National League with the New York Mets \u2014 and the Reds have the head-to-head tiebreaker between the two.<\/p>\n

No team has ever won a division<\/a> after being more than 14 games behind, and Cleveland\u2019s 15 1\/2-game deficit in early July doesn\u2019t even do this comeback justice. As recently as Sept. 11, Detroit led the division by 9 1\/2 over Cleveland. Since then, the Tigers (85-71) have been trapped in a Motown Meltdown, losing nine of 10 while the Guardians (84-72) went on a 10-game winning streak that was finally snapped Sunday. Cleveland cut the lead from 9 1\/2 games to one in a span of only 10 days.<\/p>\n

For the Reds, the situation has looked bleak at various points. They were six games out of a playoff spot on Sept. 6 \u2014 and also trailed San Francisco and Arizona \u2014 before a New York skid helped the Reds pull within 1 1\/2 games less than a week later. The Cincinnati fell three games behind, but a four-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs now has the Reds and Mets even, with the Diamondbacks only a game back of them.<\/p>\n

Other races that are coming down to the wire:<\/p>\n

\u2014 The AL East, where Toronto (90-66) leads the New York Yankees (88-68) by two games. Those teams have the top two records in the American League, so a first-round bye is at stake here.<\/p>\n

\u2014 The AL West, where Seattle (87-69) leads Houston (84-72) by three \u2014 and the Mariners have the tiebreaker. The Astros have not missed the postseason since 2016, but they\u2019re in danger now with the Red Sox (85-71) in play for a wild card along with the AL East and AL Central runners-up.<\/p>\n

\u2014 San Diego is three games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers atop the NL West, but the Dodgers have the tiebreaker and the teams don\u2019t play each other this week.<\/p>\n

Head to head<\/p>\n

Detroit will have no choice but to snap out of its funk if it wants to save its season. The Tigers go to Cleveland for three games before finishing the regular season with a series at Boston.<\/p>\n

Line of the week<\/p>\n

Dominic Canzone went 5 for 5 with three homers and four RBIs to help Seattle to a 12-5 win<\/a> over Kansas City on Tuesday night. That game capped a 10-game winning streak for the Mariners, who have now won 14 of 15 to turn a 3 1\/2-game deficit in the division into a three-game lead.<\/p>\n

Comeback of the week<\/p>\n

Philadelphia rallied from a four-run deficit in the sixth inning to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-6 on Tuesday night. That was after Shohei Ohtani no-hit the Phillies for five innings. He also homered in the game.<\/p>\n

Brandon Marsh and Max Kepler both homered during a six-run sixth for Philadelphia, and after the Dodgers tied it at 6, Rafael March\u00e1n hit a three-run homer in the top of the ninth to provide the winning margin. Los Angeles had a 94.1% win probability in the sixth, according to Baseball Savant<\/a>.<\/p>\n
