Both the NL Central and NL West have end up tied at the top after 162 games - Cubs & Brewers at 95-67, Dodgers & Rockies at 91-71.
All four have made the playoffs. In years past, head-to-head would have decided the divisions. Now with the WC game, a game 163 will occur instead, with head-to-head deciding the home field for this one game.
The losers will have to play the WC game on Tuesday, with the Central loser hosting. The winner of the Central game will be the #1 seed in the NL and face the eventual WC winner in the NLDS, the winner of the West will be the #2 seed and have HFA against Atlanta in the NLDS.
With all those logistics out of the way, here are the games:
MIL @ CHC, 1:05pm: TBA vs Quintana
COL @ LAD, 4:09pm: Marquez vs Buehler
all games are on ESPN
