When Monday rolls around, 20 disappointed MLB teams will head home to watch their adversaries fight for a championship.  

While the National League contestants are all set, three American League spots remain up for grabs. The final weekend's drama will largely reside in the American League West, where a comfortable Houston Astros advantage has decayed into a three-team race.

Just four days remain in the 2015 MLB regular season, and there is still an awful lot to be sorted out between now and the start of the playoffs.

In the National League, all five playoff teams have been decided, but only the St. Louis Cardinals are locked in as the No. 1 overall seed.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets are still battling it out for home-field advantage in their division series matchup, while the Pittsburgh Pirates are trying to hold off the Chicago Cubs for the right to host the Wild Card Game.

A week from now, only eight of MLB's 30 teams will still be playing meaningful baseball, with the bulk of the sport spread across the globe and awaiting what promises to be another busy offseason of player movement and organizational upheaval, both in the dugout and front office.

The National League playoff field is now set after the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the NL West with a victory over the San Francisco Giants Tuesday night. The only factor left to determine over the remaining handful of days is seeding.

Along with the Dodgers, the New York Mets, St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs will have a chance to chase down World Series glory. The biggest surprise is that the hyped Washington Nationals didn't qualify for the postseason.

Buckle up, fans of the New York Mets. Your team is about to take you on a World Series ride.

This wasn't supposed to happen. Not this year. Not this group. Not this manager. Anybody who tells you that he predicted back in March that the 2015 Mets would win the National League East is probably lying to your face. Even supposed Mets “homers” weren't allowing themselves to get caught up in any hype at the end of last winter.

October has a way of defining careers. Over the next few slides, we'll identify a handful of MLB players who seem poised for a breakout during postseason play. 

The definition of what constitutes a breakout star will vary, but each player on this list has at least flashed some sort of top-tier quality in his career. More than a few are hurt by the shadow of more talented teammates, while some are still too young to have made much of an impact.

With just days remaining in MLB's regular season, the American League playoff race is getting down to the nitty-gritty with only eight teams in the running to grab one of five postseason spots.

When an actor gives a poor performance on Broadway, unflattering reviews and an unsatisfied audience usually follow.

That is the natural order of consequences. All an actor can do in response is prepare and come out the next time, and give a better performance. That is the extent of what fans and critics can ask.

The Cincinnati Reds are reportedly considering several options for their 2016 coaching staff, including whether to retain manager Bryan Price. No final decisions are expected until after the regular season comes to a close.
