Two teams claim playoff positions today with a win. With the Brewers loss last night, the Cubs magic number stands at one, so a win over the Cardinals today makes the Cubs NL Central champions.

The Rays clinched a tie for the Wild Card last night with their victory over the Twins. That combined with a Yankees win but Minnesota and New York into a tie for fifth place in the league. A win by the Rays today means the worst they can finish is in the Wild Card position.

The Red Sox can also clinch a playoff spot with some help. They'll need the Rays to win and the Yankees to lose in addition to a victory over Toronto. A win by the Red Sox, however, means the worst they can do is a tie for the Wild Card.
