flavum Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Mariners will have to win 3 or 4 games in a row in various locations to get to Tampa Bay. (And the Yankees or Red Sox will have to lose tomorrow.) Edited October 2, 2021 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 In a repeat of yesterday, the Yankees have lost and the Red Sox and Blue Jays have won. Live Wild Card Standings: BOS -- NYY -- TOR -1 Seattle -1.5 Â The Giants just lost, so the Dodgers are still alive for the NL West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great. It would suck if the Yankees and Red Sox both win, but at least we’re getting 6 games tomorrow that really mean something…if the Mariners finish this off tonight.

CentralChamps21 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 It's official--the Astros have clinched the #2 seed and will have home field advantage in the ALDS vs the Sox. Seattle leads the Angels 3-1 after 5 Dodgers lead Milwaukee 7-1 in the 6th If those results hold we have 4 teams for 2 wild card spots in the AL and the NL West on the line in the final day.

I'm surprised Cole isn't going tomorrow. Wacha may be bad, but he's actually been good against New York this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 The umpire in this Mariners game must have money on the Yankees/Red Sox to win the wild card, cause he is hosing the M's big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t do it. I think this is the most fun I've had watching a non-Sox game all year. I don't even like the Mariners, but the thought of them and Toronto making it over NY and Boston has me rooting for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Mariners win. Four-way tie is still a possibility. Just need a Toronto win, a Mariners win, a Boston loss, and a Yankees loss. Please make it happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Extra baseball Monday if one of the Red Sox or Yankees lose AND one of the Blue Jays or Mariners win…that’s at the very least. NL West- if the Dodgers win and the Giants lose, they play in SF on Monday.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 10/3: We've made it to the final day of the season, and six teams still have something to play for. Teams who are locked into spots and do not, are Tampa Bay, Houston, and the Sox as division winners in the AL and 1, 2, and 3 seeds respectively. Milwaukee and Atlanta as division winners in the NL and 2 and 3 seeds respectively. Saint Louis as the second wild card. San Francisco and the LA Dodgers have been locked into the postseason for a long time, but their positions are yet to be settled. A Dodgers win + a Giants loss gives us a Monday tiebreaker with the winner being NL west champs and #1 seed, and the loser being the first wild card. Any other pair of outcomes today gives the Giants the NL West title. Now to the AL wild card which has lived up to the "wild" to the fullest extent. As we enter play today, Boston and the NY Yankees are tied for the two WC positions with Toronto and Seattle one game back. Any combination of those four teams could ultimately fill the two wild card slots. In any scenario, Boston and the Yankees are both guaranteed to play at least one more game today, whether that be in the wild card game or a tiebreaker game. All games start between 2:00 and 2:30 today so that no team gets the advantage of knowing an outcome before playing. Â All the possible outcomes [TLDR version: 9 of the 16 possible outcomes have tiebreaker game(s)]: Â Boston and Yankees both win, regardless of Toronto or Seattle outcomes - Boston is the first WC and the Yankees are the second WC All four teams lose - Boston is the first WC and Yankees are the second WC Boston wins, other three lose - Boston is first WC and Yankees are second WC Yankees win, other three lose - Yankees are first WC and Boston is second WC Boston and Toronto win, other two lose - Boston is first WC and Toronto and Yankees are tied for second WC Boston and Seattle win, other two lose - Boston is first WC and Seattle and Yankees are tied for second WC Yankees and Toronto win, other two lose - Yankees are first WC and Toronto and Boston are tied for second WC Yankees and Seattle win, other two lose - Yankees are first WC and Seattle and Boston are tied for second WC All but Boston win - Yankees are the first WC and the other three are tied for the second WC All but Yankees win - Boston is the first WC and the other three are tied for the second WC Seattle wins, other three lose - Boston, Yankees and Seattle tie for both WC spots Toronto wins, other three lose - Boston, Yankees and Toronto tie for both WC spots Seattle and Toronto win, Boston and Yankees lose - All four are tied for both WC spots 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I'm most excited that all of the games start at the same time today. We're going to need like a RedZone quad box to watch the final few innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s good for MLB to see it’s better for the game if teams come up short of the playoffs and not just handed a spot if they finish over .500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only downside to this setup is that it's the most exciting day in regular season baseball and we still have to contend with NFL Sunday. That exciting night in 2011 was a a Wednesday and Thursday where MLB knew it would be the only thing going. I'm sure they have a reason for dropping that weeknight finish ($$?) but it would be really cool if somehow baseball had this all to themselves.
