Two separate playoff spots decided today

Phillies play Tampa in about 30 min and make the postseason if they win or if Arizona loses

Dbacks play San Diego tonight and make the postseason if they win AND the Phillies lose

Astros play the As in about an hr and make the playoffs if they win or if Texas loses

Rangers play the Twins at essentially the same time and make the postseason if they win AND the Astros lose

Pretty crazy all these games come down to one day for two spots

In the old days they had pennants and division titles determined on the last day of the regular season.

Also believe that if the Astros make the playoffs while losing today, they would be the first team in baseball history to make the postseason with a losing record in a full time regular season

They actually gonna be able to get this one in? What a clusterfrick. Both teams should have been on the first flight to Pittsburgh after the game last night so they could start this at 3:05 with no issues.

Yup, already guaranteed to be the first division winner to not have a winning record.

AL is absolutely nuts. Insane that the Guardians are the 2-seed.

They are in the midst of an amazing stretch for a bottom of the barrel team in terms of payroll. I realize it’s not going to yield a title, but it’s more impressive than the Moneyball A’s.

How the Brewers continue to be competitive is also pretty incredible

Pretty sure only 3 of the top 5 payrolls are making the postseason which is wild when it's never been easier to get in

No, no. They need to play tomorrow, have Wheeler, Luzardo, and Duran pitch multiple meaningful innings each, and squeak out a win in about 15 innings.

Need to go back to 2 divisions in each league. Makes it harder for this to happen.

Manfred will probably go to 8 divisions of 4 teams since it's the worst possible decision.

Hopefully justice prevails and the Honorable Texas Rangers take the division over the cheaters.

Crooked number for the Astros

Josh Bell damage against the Rangers

George Springer got a standing ovation leaving the field.
