Major League Baseball’s 2025 season has seen unexpected parity among teams. While big spenders like the Dodgers and Yankees are playoff-bound, they haven’t dominated as expected. The Milwaukee Brewers, with a modest payroll, are the only team with a shot at 100 wins. Playoff races are heating up, with clear contenders in both leagues. The Yankees, Blue Jays, and Tigers lead the American League, while the Brewers and Phillies top the National League. Awards races are tight, with Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani leading MVP odds. Managerial changes could follow the season’s end, adding intrigue to the final weeks.
