AL:
If the Yankees and Rays win - Rays win the East, Yankees win wild card (Rangers at Rays, Yankees at Twins)
If the Yankees and Rays win - Rays win the East, Yankees win wild card (Rangers at Rays, Yankees at Twins)
If the Rays win and Yankees lose - Rays win the East, Yankees win wild card (Rangers at Rays, Yankees at Twins)
If the Yankees win and Ray lose - Yankees win the East, Rays win wild card (Rangers at Yankees, Rays at Twins)


NL:
If the Braves and Giants win - Giants win the West, Braves win the wild card (Reds at Phillies; Braves at Giants)
If the Padres win and Braves lose - Padres win the West; Giants win the wild card (Giants at Phillies; Reds at Padres)

*If the Giants win and Braves lose - Giants win the West; Padres travel to Atlanta to face the Braves on Monday to determine the Wild Card winner

**If the Braves and Padres win - Giants and Padres meet Monday in San Diego to determine the West winner. The loser would then travel to Atlanta to face the Braves on Tuesday to determine the Wild Card winner

Better root for the Padres and Phillies then today if you want to avoid them this week.

Atlanta taking advantage this inning facing shitty Baez...he is horrible, he's been getting rocked all year. 4 straight hits give them a 3-2 lead.

Huge two out hit by Hudson followed by a 2 run triple by Infante. 5-2 Bravos. Tomahawk Chop is loud and in full effect.

Volquez vs Halladay
Arroyo vs Oswalt
Cueto vs Hamels


I definitely like the chances of a 3 game sweep for the Phillies!!!

Good call. Still kind of hoping for Bobby to get shown the gate with 2 out in the 9th.

game is now 8-7 heading to bottom of 8 after the Phils rally. 2 out and no one on they get a single, error, single, double to score 3. Wagner strikes out Ibanez with runners on 2nd and 3rd to end the inning.

whew that was a little too close for comfort, especially in the 8th. Wagner was lights out in the 9th. What a way to finish the season.

Honestly, Wagner's 9th inning sliders were sick. Incredible.
