Far as I can tell, the Cubs could only tie Arizona, and Arizona has the season series. Looking like the Marlins will have to lose out for the Cubs to have a chance.

September 30, 20232 yr Author Marlins magic number on the Cubs is 1 Dbacks magic number on the Cubs is 1. When both are zero, the Cubs are done.
September 30, 20232 yr Author Actually, Cubs can’t catch Arizona. Any Cubs loss or Marlins win the rest of the way eliminates the Cubs

September 30, 20232 yr Author 5-seed race- Dbacks and Marlins magic number on each other is 3. So the Marlins may have to fly to NY tomorrow night if it isn’t settled.

October 1, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, flavum said: Blue jays lose. A loss Sunday, two wins by Seattle, and one Houston win, knocks out Toronto. Mariners seeing to it that it won’t matter. What a sad franchise that is.
October 1, 20232 yr Author Blue Jays and Rangers are in with the Mariners loss. Texas still trying to outlast Houston for the West.
October 1, 20232 yr Author Dbacks clinched with the Reds loss. Mariners will be eliminated if the Astros hold on and beat the Dbacks.
October 1, 20232 yr Author Mariners eliminated. Only seeding on the line tomorrow. Hou-Arz Tex-Sea TB-Tor Mia-Pit If Dbacks win and Marlins lose, the Marlins have to finish the game in NY on Monday. Astros win the West with a win and a Rangers loss Edited October 1, 20232 yr by flavum
October 1, 20232 yr Astros and Dodgers are the only two teams in the playoffs that I don’t want to see win. So I predict that they play each other in the World Series.
October 1, 20232 yr Author Currently… Hou vs Min…winner to Texas Tor vs TB…winner to Baltimore Arz vs Mil…winner to Los Angeles Mia vs Phi…winner to Atlanta If the Dbacks, Marlins, and Rangers win on Sunday, this doesn’t change. Edited October 1, 20232 yr by flavum
October 1, 20232 yr Really looking forward to the D-backs - Brewers match up . great defense is my favorite part of the game, and both teams excel at playing defense.
October 1, 20232 yr Author Dbacks not really playing the A lineup vs Houston, which isn’t good, in my opinion. Hopefully the Rangers beat the Mariners with Dunning on the mound.
October 1, 20232 yr Author I have an idea of what they can do for the sake of playing until the end with some integrity… Treat the 5 and 6 seeds exactly the same no matter the record, and let the 1-seed choose who the 3 and 4 seeds host and which side of the bracket they want in the Division Series before they play. So the 1-seed is rewarded for their season and in the best position in their opinion before the playoffs start.
