Tiebreaker Scenarios
If a tiebreaker game is necessary for a one-game playoff to reslove division ties, coin flips were held to determine the host team. In the NL West, the Diamondbacks would host the Padres, Dodgers or Rockies (if necessary). In the NL Central, the Cubs would host the Brewers, the Brewers would host the Cardinals, and the Cardinals would host the Cubs. (if necessary). In the event there is a tie in the NL East only, the Phillies would host the Mets.
If there's a four-way tie among the Mets, Phillies, D-Backs and Padres then the Phillies would host the Mets to determine the NL East champ and the Diamondbacks would host the Padres to determine the NL West champions. The two losing teams would play Tuesday, Oct. 2 to decide the Wild Card. The Phillies or Mets would host the Diamondbacks Mets; the Padres would either host the Phillies or travel to New York; the Rockies would host either way.
Huh Who's on first?
