After 159 games have been played and settled, the final weekend slate of the 2025 MLB regular season is upon us, and there is plenty of drama set to unfold. With a few postseason spots still up for grabs, as well as a couple of division crowns, were sure to be in for a memorable finish to an unforgettable regular season of baseball.
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss all the headlines going into the weekend, including whether the Cleveland Guardians will be able to hang onto their improbable division lead in the AL Central over the Detroit Tigers, whether the New York Yankees or Toronto Blue Jays will be crowned the kings of the AL East and the incredible season weve seen from Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh. They then talk about how crazy it is that the Houston Astros probably wont be making their annual postseason trip this October.
Also on this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake and Jordan talk about the current postseason picture in the National League, which currently has the New York Mets holding onto the final Wild Card spot despite the Cincinnati Reds and Arizona Diamondbacks trying their best to overtake them. They also discuss how strange itll be to see the Los Angeles Dodgers playing in the Wild Card round, the Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system coming to MLB next season and make their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.
