The Atlanta Braves have won the 2018 Nationals League’s Eastern Division title. That sounds really good to say. The best part is that Atlanta can get some players rested and ready for October baseball… unless they want to push for a home-field advantage.
So just in case it comes up, let’s review the tie-breaking scenarios for playoff seeding.
First off, what teams could still tie with Atlanta at season’s end?
- Cubs
- Brewers
- Cardinals (barely)
- Dodgers
- Rockies
- Diamondbacks Not any more!
Yes – at this moment the Braves actually could be involved in a season-ending tie record between any of these clubs… some more likely than others, of course.
