Major League Baseball Playoffs: The Major League Baseball playoffs start tomorrow, but there’s some unfinished regular season business taking place today.
The New York Mets and Atlanta have to make-up 2 games that were supposed to be played last week, but were postponed because of Hurricane Helene.
The reason the games have to be made up is because there are 3 teams battling for the 2 remaining National League wild card spots.
The Mets, the Braves and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
As far as today’s double-header goes, if one team sweeps the other, that team is in the playoffs and would travel to San Diego, the loser is eliminated and the D’backs would get in and travel to Milwaukee.
If the Mets and Braves split the double-header, that would create a Mets-Braves and D’backs 3 way tie, and the Diamondbacks would lose, due to losing head-to-head tiebreakers vs. both of the other 2 teams.
As for the rest of the National League Playoffs, the Dodgers and Philadelphia have the top 2 seeds and a first round bye.
In the American League playoffs, the top 2 seeds belong to the New York Yankees and Cleveland.
The wild card round will have Detroit at Houston and Kansas City at Baltimore.
The wild card round is a best 2 out of 3 at the home site of the better seeded team.
