What happened: MLB The Show's 2026 postseason simulation matched three Wild Card winners and left its October bracket unchanged. The projected World Series pairing remains San Diego against the Chicago White Sox. The Division Series is the next round that can knock either half of that forecast off course.

Why it matters: That keeps the White Sox and the Padres attached to one of the few October forecasts still standing after the first round. If both clubs keep advancing, the simulated matchup stays alive into the next stage of the bracket instead of ending in the opening week.

By the numbers: 3 of 4 Wild Card winners matched the simulation, and 1 projected World Series matchup — Padres vs. White Sox — remains alive.

What to watch: Watch whether San Diego and Chicago survive the Division Series. One elimination from either club breaks the original World Series projection.
