MLB Playoff Picture 2024: Updated Wild Card Standings, Full Bracket for AL and NL

The American League wild-card race took its latest crazy turn this week thanks to the Detroit Tigers.

Detroit moved ahead of the Kansas City Royals and into the second wild-card spot on Sunday with a win over the Baltimore Orioles.

Detroit's win tightened the AL wild-card race even more between three AL Central rivals. The Minnesota Twins are also closely in the mix.

The NL wild-card race could be decided by Thursday since the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves play each other in Atlanta from Tuesday-Thursday.

New York and Arizona hold a two-game lead over Atlanta for the final wild-card spot. Of note, the Mets hold the tiebreaker over the Diamondbacks.
