Unfortunately, much about tiebreakers in the standings isn't featured prominently on MLB.com (or elsewhere, for that matter). This can make tracking the postseason picture challenging, especially in a season filled with close races. SportsGrid highlights the races for you here.
New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles – AL East
Orioles lead 6-4 with three games remaining (Sept. 24-26)
The Orioles are just one win away from clinching the season series against their division rivals.
Cleveland Guardians vs. Minnesota Twins – AL Central
Guardians lead 5-0 with eight games remaining (Aug. 9-11, Sept. 16-19)
The Guardians have had a strong start in their season series with the Twins. Minnesota must win seven of the remaining eight games to secure the series.
Seattle Mariners vs. Houston Astros – AL West
Mariners lead 6-4 with three games remaining (Sept. 23-25)
The Mariners need just one more victory to secure the season series against the Astros. Will the AL West title come down to a tiebreaker for the second consecutive year?

Braves lead 4-2 with seven games remaining (Aug. 20-22, Aug. 29-Sept. 1)
The Phillies currently enjoy a 8.5-game advantage over the Braves, yet with seven upcoming games against Philadelphia, Atlanta still has a chance to claim the season series.
Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Arizona Diamondbacks – NL West
Diamondbacks lead 5-4 with four games remaining (Aug. 30-Sept. 2)
Although the Dodgers have lost the tiebreaker to the Padres, they can still secure a crucial edge over the Diamondbacks. To win the season series, L.A. must triumph in the upcoming series in Arizona over Labor Day weekend.
