Mlb magic number series#
The Dodgers close against Milwaukee, and while the NL Central champs won’t have much on the line, they will want to stay sharp since they have four days off between the end of the regular season and Game 1 of their NL Division Series on Oct. The difference-maker, then: The Giants begin with three at home against Arizona they’re 14-2 against the Diamondbacks this season. The final week: How much pride do the Padres have? They play three against the Dodgers and finish at San Francisco you wonder how many key players they may rest or shut down in this final week after their elimination. And you have to figure Fried will get the ball then if their season is on the line. Why? If the Braves lead or trail the Phillies by a half-game after Sunday, they must play a makeup game against Colorado on Monday at Truist Park. But should the teams tie for the East title, Fried won’t be available for a one-game playoff. Tuesday/Wednesday starters: Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola go for Philly against Charlie Morton and Max Fried for Atlanta. A sweep would vault them atop the division, and a sweep may be their only option: Atlanta closes at home against the Mets, who have lost 15 of 23 this month. The final week: After threatening to bumble away any chance at contending, the Phillies amazingly have their fate in their hands: Three games at Atlanta starting Tuesday. NL EastĪs it stands: After a sweep of San Diego, the Braves (83-72) hold a 2 ½-game lead over the Phillies (81-75). 2 wild card or the AL wild card game against Toronto or New York the Blue Jays would host the Yankees. Juan Soto in a must-win Game 162 would be spicy.įamily ties: Boston would have home-field advantage for any one-game playoff for the No. Boston has Chris Sale and Nathan Eovaldi lined up Sale vs. A Cole-Robbie Ray matchup is possible for the wild-card game. Tuesday/Wednesday starters: Jameson Taillon and Gerrit Cole go for the Yankees, with Hyun-jin Ryu and Jose Berrios going for Toronto. The A’s and Mariners open a three-game series Monday at Seattle if one team sweeps, consider them alive heading into the weekend. New York finishes at home against Tampa Bay, and while the Rays have already wrapped up the East, they’re not a team you want to play with survival at stake - particularly when the Blue Jays are hosting three games against the 50-106 Orioles. But it will behoove the Yankees to pile on if they can: The Red Sox finish with six games at Baltimore and Washington. If the Yankees win just one game, they’ll leave Toronto no worse than the No. The final week: All eyes on Toronto, where the Blue Jays and Yankees open a three-game series Tuesday night.
