LOOKING AHEAD

A look at what’s happening around the majors on Wednesday:

RAYS THE BANNER: Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow (4-1, 4.21 ERA) gets his final tuneup for the postseason when he faces Robinson Canó and the New York Mets at Citi Field.

Glasnow and the playoffbound Rays hope to make it a special night -- they can clinch their first AL East title with a win, or a loss by the Yankees to Toronto.

“I go into it with maybe a little bit more confidence than I did last year,” Glasnow said. “Just an exciting time.”

TUNEUP TIME: Cleveland ace Shane Bieber (8-1, 1.74 ERA) had his start pushed back a day, lining him up to open the playoffs. The Indians clinched a postseason spot Tuesday night when José Ramírez hit a threerun homer with two outs in the 10th inning to beat the White Sox.

Bieber faces AL Centralleading Chicago and Lucas Giolito (4-3, 3.53 ERA). The Indians star tops the majors in ERA and strikeouts and heads the race to win the AL Cy Young Award.

CLINCHING: The Braves and Cubs can start making some playoff plans after sealing their spots in the expanded postseason field.

Atlanta won its third straight NL East title with an 11-1 romp over the contending Marlins on Tuesday night. After losses in 10 straight postseason appearances, the Braves are desperate to end the drought.

“If you ask me, it’s World Series or nothing,” star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. said through a translator.

STUMBLING: The Phillies have lost in four, dropping them out of NL playoff position. After getting in a doubleheader in Washington, they’ll try to regain their winning touch when Zach Eflin (3-2, 4.28 ERA) starts against Erick Fedde (2-3, 4.36) at Nationals Park.
