While Cardinals close out regular season in the comforts of home, chaos could unfold out west

The Cardinals will fly to California on Monday to begin their postseason.

Unless they don't.

Then they'll definitely fly Tuesday.

Almost a week after they clinched the National League's second wild-card into the playoffs and knew nothing could change their seeding, the Cardinals begin game No. 162 unsure of who they'll face in the one-game playoff Wednesday. The San Francisco Giants need only to win Sunday against the Padres to secure the NL West crown. If the Giants lose and the Dodgers win against Milwaukee, then there will be a one-game tiebreaker game Monday at Oracle Park.
