The crazy finale for the last two NL Wildcard spots.

[MarathonMike]

The Mets, Braves and Diamondbacks are all alive for the last two spots. The Mets and Braves have a double header tomorrow. The Dbacks kind of collapsed at the end but can still get in if either the Mets or Braves win both games. Of course the most likely outcome is a split, but hope springs eternal.

D'Backs appear to be toast.

dam the dbacks had it too....each of these 3 teams did pretty good to stay in contention...

The Mets were given up for dead early in the season. Other than Lindor not sure who is responsible.

Like the Dbacks they had a strong second half.

They only make it in the unlikely event of a sweep. The game that did them in was the final Brewers game where they were about to sweep 4 straight from them and they blew a 4 run lead at the end of the game.

The starting pitching was much better than expected, and the bullpen went from terrible to not so bad.

While it makes for exciting baseball, it screws over the Mets and the Braves for not only losing their off day, but having to play TWO games right before the wildcard series.

They could have done a double header Monday or Tuesday and we wouldn't be here now.

Whoever wins the first game will rest their players and then the loser will win the late game. That means Arizona is screwed.

Could be an option, but the fact they are both from the same division means they may just want to finish them off now instead of maybe seeing them later.

At Citi Field the most fan fights by visiting team in order is Phillies, Yankees, Braves.

Correct, either winning team will hold back their starter in game 2.

The thing is they still need someone who can eat innings, because you don't want to blow out your bullpen either.

If I remember right, the hurricane washed out the Braves game last week which is why there is this double header today.

100%. But both teams had an off day Monday so they could have done a double header either Monday or Tuesday and avoided this situation.
