This is the playoff period in the Major League Baseball with two tiebreaker games on Monday, marking the start of the one-month run at the World Series.
The Brewers will be at the Cubs after the two tied for the National League title, and the Rockies will go to the Dodgers to decide the WHL championship.
Win or lose, the four teams will play either as division champions or as wild-card teams of the National League.
Sunday started tense, with the four teams tied in during the day, but it was smooth sailing for all. Milwaukee beat Detroit 11-0, the Cubs beat the Cardinals 10-5, Colorado destroyed Washington 12-0 and the Dodgers beat the Giants 15-0.
The other four other divisions ended well before the last day of the regular season, with the Red Sox (East), the Indians (Central) and the Astros (West).
The Red Sox, Indians, Astros and Braves, winners of the title, will qualify for the playoffs with the Brewers, Cubs, Rockies and Dodgers, as well as the Yankees and Athletics, the two teams of the American League.
The wild card games Tuesday (losers of the Brewers-Cubs and Rockies-Dodgers games) and Wednesday (Yankees Athletics) will reduce the field to eight teams, four in each league, while the pursuit really begins for the crown of World Series. The national league division series, the best of the seven, will open Thursday with the pairs to be determined. The league series of the American League will start the next day with the winner of the Yankees Athletics Red Sox and the meeting of Indians and Astros in Houston. The championship series of the league opens October 12 in the National League and October 13 in the American League.
Then, the World Series will begin on October 23rd.
