The series roundup is complete.

This afternoon, we were keeping an eye on Game 162 involving the Astros, Rangers, Phillies, and Diamondbacks.

As a reminder, the Astros needed to win their game or have the Rangers lose in order to qualify for the playoffs.

Also, the Phillies needed to win their game or have the Diamondbacks lose to make the playoffs.

The Philadelphia Phillies didn't give the Diamondbacks a chance. They won their game against the Rays 7-3.

On the other hand, the Texas Rangers lost (6-4) before the Astros could even win their game. This secured a playoff spot for the Houston team (which is playing at .500).

This means the postseason picture is now official.

In the American League, the Red Sox will face the Yankees. The winner will face the Rays in the division series.

Meanwhile, the White Sox will face the Astros. The winner will face the Guardians in the other American League division series.

In the National League, the Cubs will face the Padres. The winner will face the Brewers in the division series.

In the other American League division series, the Phillies will face the Braves. The winner will face the Dodgers.

Here are the game times for Tuesday through Thursday.
