If that happens, Monday’s doubleheader would be for seeding only. They cannot be eliminated Sunday. *The Mets can clinch a playoff spot Sunday with a win over the Brewers AND a Diamondbacks loss. If that happens, Monday’s doubleheader would be for seeding only. The Braves hold the edge in head-to-head tiebreaker (6-5, with two to play). *The Diamondbacks can clinch a playoff spot Sunday with a win over the Padres AND losses by both the Braves and the Mets.

(AP Photo/Jason Allen) By AJC Sports Updated 6 hours ago Here is the current MLB playoff picture after games on Sept. 28. The Braves keeping winning. That’s five in a row after defeating the Royals Saturday. The Mets and Diamondbacks keep losing. That puts the Braves in the driver’s seat heading into the final full day of the regular season. A Monday doubleheader between the Braves and Mets may still be necessary. Or maybe not. Here are the scenarios for the final two spots in the National League wild card race. *The Braves can clinch a playoff spot Sunday with a win over the Royals OR a Diamondbacks loss to the Padres. If that happens, Monday’s doubleheader would be for seeding only. They cannot be eliminated Sunday. *The Mets can clinch a playoff spot Sunday with a win over the Brewers AND a Diamondbacks loss.

The Braves hold the edge in head-to-head tiebreaker (6-5, with two to play). *The Diamondbacks can clinch a playoff spot Sunday with a win over the Padres AND losses by both the Braves and the Mets. Let’s take a closer look. All three teams win: Braves clinch playoff spot. Mets would need to win on game in Monday’s doubleheader. Diamondbacks would need Mets to lose both games of doubleheader. All three teams lose: Braves clinch playoff spot. Mets would need to win on game in Monday’s doubleheader. Diamondbacks would need Mets to lose both games of doubleheader. Braves win, Diamondbacks win, Mets lose: Braves clinch playoff spot. Mets would need to sweep Monday’s doubleheader. Diamondbacks would need Mets to lose one game of doubleheader. Braves win, Mets and Diamondbacks lose: Braves clinch playoff spot. Mets would need to win on game in Monday’s doubleheader. Diamondbacks would need Mets to lose both games of doubleheader. Braves lose, Mets and D-backs win: Braves would need to win one game of doubleheader. Mets would need to win one game of doubleheader. Diamondbacks would need Braves or Mets to sweep doubleheader. Braves and Mets win, D-backs lose: Braves, Mets clinch playoffs spots. Diamondbacks are eliminated. Braves and Diamondbacks lose, Mets win: Braves, Mets clinch playoffs spots. Diamondbacks are eliminated. Edited September 30 by Subdeacon Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) Blackwater, I became a Braves fan when cable first came out and the Braves were on TBS, they were Americas team! My dad and I would watch them if the Indians weren’t on, They’re my second favorite team even though they beat the Cleveland Indians in 95! Plus I can’t stand Francisco Lindor the choker snd New York in general!😂 Edited September 30 by Rye Miles #13621 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Sick of the Braves! Had to put up with their snotty fans around here for years and it was worse when Ted Turner and Hanoi Jane were the owners. I guess too much time around Atlanta made it worse! I lived just across the river when the Mets were an expansion team and suffered through those early years. I was a huge fan when Seaver, Ryan, Koosman, Harrelson, Agee, and Cardwell all played in the Miracle season. Incidentally, that’s the only time that Nolan Ryan won a World Series. I won a lot of money and straight As for that semester in psychology that fall!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 If the Braves lose, the D’backs play the Padres. If the win, the Braves play the Padres. The Mets will play the Brewers no matter what the outcome of this game. They’re only motivation is beating the Braves for the season head to head record and maybe payback for 2022. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
