What happened: Several postseason spots remain in play across MLB with roughly two weeks left in the regular season. One social playoff-probability update listed the White Sox as the biggest mover at plus-8.8 percentage points, while the Blue Jays fell 6.1 points and the Guardians dropped 5.4.
Why it matters: The late swings matter more now because there is little room left to recover from a bad series. The field is still shifting even after the Dodgers clinched for a 14th straight season and the Yankees also locked up a postseason berth.
By the numbers: White Sox: +8.8 percentage points in playoff probability. Blue Jays: -6.1 points. Guardians: -5.4 points. Dodgers: postseason berth clinched for a 14th straight season.
What to watch: Watch the next few series for separation in the division and wild-card chases. Daily probability swings should stay sharp until more spots are clinched.
