Playoff pressure is real. We break down the NL West weirdness (Giants hot, Dodgers wobbling, Padres sliding), ask if the Diamondbacks are the league’s ultimate spoilers, and size up the Mets’ path with a shaky bridge between the starters and Edwin Díaz. Then we flip to the AL: Rays resurging, Yankees/Boston lurking, Toronto vulnerable, Texas inconsistent, Seattle stalling, Houston steady. Who actually makes it?
