if braves when 2 out of 4 against the marlins, they win the division also.

The MLB Playoffs are about to begin and play will be in a bubble. Actually two bubbles for a while, then one for the World Series.

Trivia question: When was the last time the World Series played all its games in one stadium?

So, who we gonna play?
We're 1 game ahead of Cubs for #2 seed
I'll assume that Cards & Fish hold on to the 2 spots
If we fall to #3 seed it's probably cards or fish
If we hold at 2, then it's the 7 seed
reds,brewers,Giants are tied at .5oo Phlies are 1 behind for the 7-8 wildcards

When I first saw that the teams in St. Louis played all six games in the same stadium for the 1944 World Series I assumed the war was the reason. Not so, the Cardinals and the Browns both played their home games in Sportsman Park.

I wouldn't have known that ...Browns thought they were smart by renting to Cards. After Cards sold their stadium,they spent the money on a farm system.
Browns attendance faltered so they left(1953) - now Baltimore Orioles.

Magic number to clinch #2 seed is one(Braves hold tiebreaker)
sort of matters as in league series the 2 will bat last in 3 of 5 possible games
cubs at white sox for 3 games
Red Sox at Atlanta 7:10 pm on FSSO. Wright tonight

Reds,Cards,Brewers,Giants,Fish or Phlies could finish at 7 for WCS
I'd rather avoid Reds,Cards and play either fish or Phlies , i think......

Pitching tends to rise to the top in the playoffs. We need to hope Anderson will to continue being really strong, for Fried's injury to be very minor, and for Tomlin to have his good nights in October. And, for our bats to stay hot.
