<cite>Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports</cite> </figure>With just two days remaining in the 2016 regular season schedule, MLB has a seemingly ideal situation with the Wild Card races. None of the four Wild Card spots have yet been clinched, and heading into the final weekend there are still seven teams alive and kicking for the four open spots in the postseason.
Up first on Saturday is the National League, with the New York Mets atop the heap with a one-game lead over the San Francisco Giants for the top Wild Card spot, and a two-game advantage over the St. Louis Cardinals.
New York can clinch a Wild Card berth on Saturday with a win or a Cardinals loss. Both teams play at 1:05 p.m. ET, with the Mets battling the Phillies in Philadelphia and the Cardinals hosting the Pirates at home.
