Seven of baseball's eight postseason teams are set.
The other might not be determined until Tuesday.
It depends on what happens this afternoon when the Chicago White Sox host the Detroit Tigers when they make up a game that was rained out earlier this season.
The White Sox, after beating the Cleveland Indians 5-1 Sunday, are a half-game behind the Minnesota Twins in the American League Central. If the White Sox beat Detroit, they'll force a one-game playoff vs. the Twins Tuesday in Chicago.

Ken Griffey Jr. has never played in a World Series. Now he might get his chance.
Griffey has approved a trade to the White Sox, according to a source with knowledge of the deal. The trade is now pending the approval of the commissioner, an indication that it involves a cash transaction of more than $1 million.
The approval is expected to be a formality. The Reds will receive pitcher Nick Masset and second baseman Danny Richar, according to CBS Sportsline.
Griffey had the right to block a deal as a player with at least 10 years of major-league service, five with the same club. He did not receive any form of compensation for waiving his no-trade protection.
