Dodgers weekend meltdown + Wild Card race check-in & weekend recap

Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast

As the 2025 MLB regular season begins to wind down, the division and Wild Card races are tightening up and each game is increasing in importance. The NL West is the closest of all the division races, with the Los Angeles Dodgers holding a one-game lead over the San Diego Padres after the Dodgers dropped two of three over the weekend. One of those losses included blowing a no-hitter, where the Dodgers gave up four runs in the bottom of the 9th with two outs to lose the game. Are the Dodgers showing any signs that they’ll be able to pull it together to make a deep postseason run? Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss what the Dodgers need to do to make a championship push.

The New York Yankees are another team in a close divisional—and Wild Card—race. They won two of three over the weekend, but what caught everyone’s attention was their superstar’s inability to throw a baseball. Do the Yankees need to keep Aaron Judge in the outfield to keep their postseason hopes alive? The guys discuss what options the Yankees have and how far they realistically see them going in the playoffs.

Later, they break down both the AL and NL Wild Card races. The Cubs, Padres, Mets, Yankees, Red Sox and Mariners are currently the six teams sitting in the drivers’ seats. Are these the teams we should expect to see in the Wild Card games or are there any lurking contenders that could make a surprise run at the end of the season? Anything can happen with just three weeks remaining in the regular season.

Plus, Jake and Jordan recap each series from the weekend, giving you a full rundown of what you may have missed across the league. It’s sure to be an exciting finish—and the guys will be here every step of the way to break it all down.
