Major League Baseball's 2024 season enters its final week and both league's wild-card races are going to the wire.
While the Baltimore Orioles are set to claim the American League's top wild-card seed, the Kansas City Royals, Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners were all within two games for the second and third seeds through Saturday. In the NL, the Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets and Atlanta Braves had just three games between them for the last two spots.
"We're having a blast," said Tigers All-Star outfielder Riley Greene, part of his first pennant race. "This is the most fun I've had playing baseball, I think in my life."
