The 2025 MLB playoff bracket is set. Here are the American League and National League teams that have made the postseason.

The Milwaukee Brewers and Toronto Blue Jays are the top overall seeds as the MLB playoffs get underway.

Those two teams finished the 2025 regular season with the best records in their league and will have the home-field advantage as long as they can stay alive in their quest to reach the World Series. The Brewers (97-65) finished one game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for the overall No. 1 seed.

Along with the Seattle Mariners, the top four teams automatically advance to the division series. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Guardians, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Detroit Tigers will battle in the AL wild-card round. The Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds will match up in the NL wild-card round.
