MLB magic numbers, tiebreakers: Yankees, Mariners gain in division chases (9/8/25)

With three weeks to go in the regular season, three of the six division races are very tight and at least one wild card spot is up for grabs.

The Dodgers are up just one game on the Padres in the NL West, the Blue Jays’ lead over the Yankees is two games in the AL East and the Astros hold a 2 ½-game edge on the Mariners in the AL West.
