NL Playoff Picture 2018: Predicting Final Standings and Wild Card Teams
The Los Angeles Dodgers can clinch the fifth and final playoff berth in the National League on Saturday with a victory over the San Francisco Giants or a loss by the St. Louis Cardinals against the Chicago Cubs.
Although the NL postseason field is nearly set, the teams' respective seeding is still up in the air with races between the Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central as well as the Dodgers and Colorado Rockies in NL West separated by just a single game apiece with two days remaining.
The NL East champion Atlanta Braves are also set to play October baseball, but they are fighting for home-field advantage in the Division Series.
