It took 161 games, but we finally know the six teams that will battle it out in the American League playoffs.
After the Detroit Tigers beat the Boston Red Sox to clinch a spot earlier Saturday, the Guardians took it down to the wire in their game against the Texas Rangers, but a walk-off hit by pitch punched Cleveland's ticket.
Cleveland (87-74) is guaranteed at least an American League wild card and remains tied with Detroit atop the AL Central going into the final day of the regular season.
The Guardians own the head-to-head tiebreaker, so a victory Sunday over Texas or a Tigers loss at Boston would give Cleveland its second consecutive division title following a stirring comeback this season.
The fourth-place Guardians were 40-48 through July 6 and still 15 1/2 games out of first two days later.
Houston was eliminated from post-season contention with the Guardians' victory. The Astros will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2016.
While the AL East and Central titles will be decided on Sunday, the six playoff-bound clubs can at least start planning for October baseball.
Five of the six sports have been clinched in the National League, with Game 162 set to decide whether the New York Mets or Cincinnati Reds claim the third and final wild-card spots.
Here's a look at how the AL post-season picture sets up for the wild-card series with one game left to play.
No. 1 seed (bye to ALDS): Blue Jays/Yankees
No. 2 seed (bye to ALDS): Mariners
No. 3 seed (Tigers/Guardians) vs. No. 6 seed (Tigers/Guardians/Red Sox)
No. 4 seed (Blue Jays/Yankees) vs. No. 5 seed (Red Sox/Tigers)
