As the 2024 regular season comes to a close, the final two NL Wild Card spots are still up for grabs. The San Diego Padres have already clinched the first wild card slot, but their division rival, the Arizona Diamondbacks, are up for one of the remaining spots. Two NL East rivals in the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets are also in the hunt. As Sunday's games progress, the playoff picture should get clearer. The different scenarios were broken down by ESPN's Jeff Passan on X, formerly Twitter.
“The upshot: The Braves are in a very good position,” reported Passan on the social media site.
