CLINCHED! The Jays clinch a playoff spot as the O's fall to Red Sox. MORE:
The Jays return to the postseason for the fourth time in the past eight seasons and first time since the shortened 2020 campaign.
Twelve teams, six in each of the AL and National League, make the playoffs under the updated format — three division winners and three wild-card teams. The division winners with the best two records receive a first-round bye and will advance directly to their respective Division Series. In the AL, the AL West champion Houston Astros and Yankees will receive byes, with the AL Central-winning Cleveland Guardians locked in as the third seed.
Following the Orioles' loss, the Tampa Bay Rays' magic number is now one with a magic number of two for the Seattle Mariners, who currently occupy the final wild-card spot and sit five games clear of Baltimore. The Rays, at Cleveland, and Mariners, home to the Texas Rangers, play later Thursday.
