This may have been asked, but why did they not flip flop the days of the WC games? AL should play tomorrow and NL Wednesday. It is crazy that the Rockies now have to fly to Chicago and play tomorrow. Yet there will then be 3 days off before the NLDS begins.
Might have something to do with not wanting the Sox/AL WC winner going up against the Pats. Split market and all.

The NLDS begins Thursday. There will be one day off.

the AL/NL have been staggered by one day, and who goes first flip-flops, for quite awhile now.

just tough luck for the NL this year. but the Cubs get a day plus off staying at home while the Rockies have brutal travel.

If the Rockies wanted to travel less, they should have won more games.

Maybe they'll learn from this season that instead of continuing to automatically alternate they could wait to decide when to schedule which league's WC game until they have a better idea which league's division races are more likely to cause game 163s.
