Two and a half weeks. That’s all we have left in the 2022 Major League Baseball season. It flew by, didn’t it?

Or does it? I am convinced that there is a paradox in every baseball season for those of us who live and breathe it every day.

On the one hand, it’s easy to say something like “looks like yesterday was Opening Day!” I don’t have a strong argument against it. I remember back in March when I was actually worried that the season would be shortened, maybe even drastically. It doesn’t seem that long ago that a deal was finally reached and the owners ended their voluntary player lockout. We were happy.

Like I said, it wasn’t that long ago.

Then again, remember the debate over whether Clayton Kershaw should have been removed from his seven-inning perfect game? Doesn’t that seem like a long time ago? It really suits me. It feels like a long time ago. It was April 13th. By the end of the World Series, the start of the season will seem exponentially further away.

It’s a pain that passes quickly and such a statement only makes sense to those of us who are still paying close attention. If you know, you know.

With limited time remaining in the regular season, here are the top nine series with playoff implications for both sides. We’ll focus on games where both teams likely have something to win and something to lose, so you won’t find a team like the Dodgers or Astros on the list. (The series are listed in chronological order.)

1. Mets at Brewers, 19-21. Sept. 8 – A doubleheader against the Giants on Sept. 8 seemed to put the Brewers back on track. They are now a serious threat to the Padres and Phillies for the wild card spot. And the Mets, well, they’re in a fight to the finish with the Braves. The big one is here to start the week.

2. Blue Jays at Phillies, 20-22. September – In all likelihood, both teams are safe in the tournament, but a collapse could doom them and there is a jockeying within the wildcard for positioning. The Jays could also be looking up, and we’ll get to that in a second.

3. Guardians at White Sox, 20-22. September – The two teams have just three remaining games against each other. The White Sox desperately need to damage the Guardians before Cleveland wraps up a six-game home streak against the hapless Royals.

4. Braves at Phillies, 22-25. September – Not in direct contact in the sense that they would be fighting for the same spot, but the Phillies could hurt the Braves’ chances of taking over the NL East while the Braves could force the Phillies out of playoff position. Hurting your rival is always fun, isn’t it? Both must continue to win in their own right.

5. Blue Jays at Rays, 22-25. September – It’s a four-game series, so while both teams seem certain to clinch the wild-card spots, there’s always a chance a sweep here could open the door for the Orioles to climb back into the picture.

6. Yankees at Blue Jays, 26-28. September – It could be over by the time this series is played. Still, the Yankees may not be completely out of the woods. The lead currently stands at 5 1/2 games. If the Blue Jays can have about four or five games and then sweep the Yankees, suddenly it’s a race to the finish line.

Royals at Tigers, 27-29. September – Just kidding. Two bad teams and I certainly wouldn’t expect Royals fans to ever pay attention unless their team is in the playoffs. I can’t get away from their brand.

7. Rays at Guardians, 27-29. September – This is the last time the White Sox could get help – and they desperately need it – with the guards playing a worthy opponent. Also, the Rays could possibly contend for either a playoff spot or the AL East crown. At the very least, carry will matter and that could make this the exact same wildcard round matchup in a quick turnaround.
