The baseball season is winding down
As fall arrives and the weather gets cooler, baseball fans know that the end of the season is near. October means the playoffs and, for some teams, the end of the line.

So how many baseball games are left in 2021? As of September 28, there are only four teams remaining in the playoffs: the Los Angeles Dodgers, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, and Tampa Bay Rays. (The Rays have already clinched a spot in the World Series; they’ll face either the Dodgers or Braves.)
Thewild-card game will be played on October 1, followed by divisional series games on October 2 and 3. The American League Championship Series will take place October 6-10 (if necessary), with Game 7 on October 10. The National League Championship Series will be played October 7-11 (if necessary), with Game 7 on October 11. Finally, the World Series will be held October 13-21 (if necessary), with Game 7 on October 21. So that’s a lot of baseball—but it’s all wrapped up within two weeks.
So enjoy every minute of fall baseball—it goes by quickly!
