Sunday, September 29 -
What we know:
Cubs-Arizona -Yankees-Red Sox-Cleveland-Angels are in.
What we don't know:
NL East...
Possibilities:
Phillies (Phillies win, Mets lose)
Mets (Mets win, Phillies lose)
Phillies and Mets (both teams win or lose - suggesting a tie is actually the most likely scenario)
If Phillies-Mets tie:
One game playoff in Philly on Monday -
Phillies were 12-6 vs. the Mets this year
NL Wildcard...
Padres win it with one more win.
If they lose tommorow...
Rockies, Mets, Phillies, Padres could all have 89 wins (assuming the Rockies win tonight)
Otherwise, if the Padres lose, the NL Wildcard could be tied at:
Mets-Padres
Mets-Rockies-Padres
Phillies-Padres
Phillies-Padres-Rockies
Rockies-Padres
Padres-Rockies
Sunday should be the greatest day of regular season baseball in a looong time.
Prediction:
Brewers beat Padres
Rockies beat Arizona (after Rockies win tonight)
Mets lose to Florida (they are facing Dontrelle Willis)
Phillies beat the Nationals (Moyer is good against the Nats)
Meaning...
Arizona 90-72
Padres - 89-73
Rockies - 89-73
Phillies 89-73
Mets 88-74
One game playoff in the NL Wildcard (Rockies vs Padres)
Rockies win the one game against the Padres on Monday.
Phillies win NL East, Mets go home
I wouldn't be surprised if the Rockies, Padres, Phillies and Mets all end up with the same record. However, that would only result in two one game playoffs:
Rockies vs. Padres for NL WC
Phillies vs. Mets for NL East
