As the 2025 MLB season approaches Memorial Day, playoff positions are beginning to take shape, with the Dodgers, Cubs, Mets, Padres, Phillies, and Giants currently leading the NL. The Cardinals (24-20) have turned around their season with a recent nine-game win streak, while the Diamondbacks (23-21) are holding steady despite injuries. Other contenders outside the playoff picture include the Braves (22-22), Brewers (21-23), and Reds (21-24), all within five games of a Wild Card spot, but the Nationals, Marlins, Pirates, and Rockies face steeper challenges in their playoff pursuits.
