Game 162: What has to happen for the Diamondbacks to make the postseason

The Arizona Diamondbacks face elimination entering Game 162 after suffering a 10-7 loss to the San Diego Padres. Heading into the final game of the regular season, Arizona sits one game behind the Philadelphia Phillies for the final National League wild-card berth. To qualify for the postseason, the Diamondbacks must defeat San Diego and rely on the Tampa Bay Rays to defeat Philadelphia.

In Saturday's defeat, the Diamondbacks utilized a bullpen game after starter Corbin Burnes was sidelined by injury. San Diego secured the lead behind a three-run home run from Manny Machado, clinching home-field advantage despite a late ninth-inning push by Arizona against closer Mason Miller.
