Playoffs

[Deleted]

I can't believe the playoffs are already next week.  Just a refresher.  

The 4 division winners get a bye.  There are 4 wildcard teams from each league.  Wildcard #1 will play Wildcard #4 and Wildcard #2 will play Wildcard #3.  The lowest seed winner will play the highest seed division winner in the league.

NL East
Mets clinched the division

NL West
Padres clinched the division.

NL Wildcard
Cubs clinched wildcard #1 spot
Giants clinched wildard #2 spot
Cardinals clinched wildcard #3 spot
Diamondbacks and Braves are fighting for the wildcard #4 spot.  If Diamondbacks win, they clinch.  If Braves win and Diamondbacks lose, Braves make the playoffs.

AL East
Yankees clinched the division

AL West
Athletics, White Sox, Royals, and Astros have a chance to win the division.  If Athletics win, they clinch.  
If Athletics and White Sox both wins, Athletics clinches due to tiebreaker.
If Ahtletics and White Sox both lose, and Royals and Astros win, there will be a tiebreaker.  There would be a 3 or 4 way tie which I believe goes to best division record.
If White Sox wins and Athletics lose, White Sox clinches.  
Athletics have the tiebreaker over Royals
White Sox have the tiebreaker over Astros

AL Wildcard
Athletics, White Sox, Royals, Astros, and Mariners have all clinched at least the wildcard spot.

Glad you sorted out that al west

[Kansas City Royals]

I'm pretty sure A's and White Sox both beat me h2h, and even if they lose I can't surpass them in winning percentage. So I'm a wild card team regardless of how things shake out.
