Note: Tie-Break Scenarios

by Matthew Cerrone on September 24th, 2008 at 11:46 pm

If the Mets, Phillies and Brewers end the season with the same record, the Mets and Phillies will play a one-game playoff on Monday in Philadelphia, the winner of which will win the NL East, the loser of which will play a one-game playoff with the Brewers for the Wild Card on Tuesday, which will not occur in Milwaukee.

If the Mets and Phillies tie for first place and have a better record than the Brewers, the Mets will win the NL East because of their head-to-head record, and the Phillies will get the Wild Card.
