needs an extra day to decide its playoff bracket as the Central and West divisions ended in ties after the end of regular-season play on Sunday.Here's a look at the tiebreaker schedule for Monday Rickey Henderson Jersey , in addition to the four potential playoff brackets based off the scenarios that could unfold Tuesday. You'll also find some analysis for each of them. NL Central TiebreakerMatchup: Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago CubsDay, Time and TV: Monday, 1:09 p.m. ET on ESPNProbables:TBD (for Milwaukee) vs. Chicago Cubs LHP Jose Quintana NL West TiebreakerMatchup:Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles DodgersDay, Time and TV:Monday, 4:09 p.m. ET on ESPNProbables:Colorado Rockies RHP German Marquez vs. Los Angeles Dodgers RHP Walker Buehler If Brewers and Rockies WinNL Wild Card Game:Dodgers at Cubs, Tuesday, 8 p.m. ET, ESPNNLDS:No. 1 Brewers vs.No. 4 Cubs or No. 5 DodgersNLDS:No. 2 Rockies vs.No. 3 BravesThis would be something. The two teams many thought would be fighting for the National League pennant end up playing a one-game playoff just to decide who the National League's No. 4 seed will be.The Chicago Cubs may have the advantage in that game: They have the National League's best home record at 51-30 and won't have to face Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, who already pitched Saturday and is in line to start Game 1 of the NLDS should his team get that far.Meanwhile, the upstart Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies would be in the driver's seats for NLCS berths by virtue of winning the tiebreaker games. The Atlanta Braves can sit still knowing that they are the No. 3 seed, although they won't know whether they are heading for Colorado or L.A until Monday.If Brewers and Dodgers WinNL Wild Card Game:Rockies at Cubs,Tuesday, 8 p.m. ET, ESPNNLDS:No. 1 Brewers vs.No. 4 Cubs or No. 5 RockiesNLDS: No. 2 Dodgers vs.No. 3 BravesThe Dodgers look like a significant mismatch for the Braves on paper. In addition to the home-field edge, the Dodgers would hold advantages over the Braves throughout the batting lineup and pitching staff. It also helps that L.A. has a good amount of postseason experience this decade, while the Braves are an up-and-coming team tasting postseason success for the first time.Meanwhile, a Brewers-Cubs or Brewers-Rockies matchup could be a lot of fun. All three teams can mash, which may lead to a high-scoring series athitter's parks http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-catfish-hunter-jersey , where home runs fly more than average.The Brewers-Cubs battle could also be noteworthy because two strong MVP candidates (Cubs infielder Javier Baez and Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich) will be going head-to-head. The MVP is solely based on regular-season play, but it would be interesting to see what those two do for encores after fantastic 2018 seasons. If Cubs and Rockies WinNL Wild Card Game:Dodgers at Brewers,Tuesday, 8 p.m. ET, ESPNNLDS:No. 1 Cubs vs. No. 4 Brewers or No. 5 DodgersNLDS:No. 2 Rockies vs.No. 3 BravesMuch like 2016, the Cubs would be in the National League playoff driver's seat with home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Wrigley Field becomes a tightly packed zoo during the postseason, creating arguably the wildest October atmosphere in the bigs.It's not impossible for teams to win there, as the Cubs did lose three home playoff games en route to their 2016 World Series championship. But the Cubs may have a more significant home-field advantage than any other NL team, and that's a strong edge as Chicago looks for its second NL pennant in three years.The Colorado Rockies would enjoy being the No. 2 seed, as they would have home-field advantage in the NLDS and the same in the NLCS if the Cubs lose to the Brewers or Dodgers in this scenario.Coors Field is one of the game's most notorious hitter's parks, and numerous Rockies power hitters (e.g. David Dahl, Charlie Blackmon, Nolan Arenado, Trevor Story, Carlos Gonzalez) can take advantage. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Colorado simply slug its way to the pennant.If Cubs and Dodgers WinNL Wild Card Game: Rockies at Brewers,Tuesday, 8 p.m. ET, ESPNNLDS:No. 1 Cubs vs. No. 4Brewers or No. 5 RockiesNLDS:No. 2 Dodgers vs.No. 3 BravesThis scenario puts the presumptive NL favorites in the top two seeds. They met in the NLCS each of the past two years Rollie Fingers Jersey , with the Cubs winning 4-2 in 2016 and the Dodgers taking the series in five in 2017.A rubber match between the two teams would be a little different this time. For one, the Dodgers added shortstop Manny Machado, second baseman Brian Dozier and infielder Max Muncy, who combined for 92 home runs this year. Machado and Dozier came over in midseason trades, while Muncy was a pleasant surprise after spending his 2017 season in the minors.The Cubs now have southpaw Cole Hamels, and Baez has developed into one of the game's best players. Chicago also has Daniel Murphy, one of the best pure hitters in the game when he's on. DENVER (AP) — In a sixth-inning jam, German Marquez received a visit from his manager and a little advice: Don’t do too much. Stay in the moment. Execute.Bud Black might as well have been talking to his entire team as Colorado chases after its first division title. Trevor Story hit a three-run homer during a six-run fifth inning, Marquez struck out 11 over seven masterful innings and the NL West-leading Rockies gained more separation with a 13-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night.The Rockies increased their lead to 1 1/2 games over the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost 10-6 at Cincinnati. The Diamondbacks now trail by 3 1/2 games. This is the latest the Rockies have been alone atop the division since 1995.“The magnitude of these games is maybe a little bit enlarged because of where we are in the season and the amount of focus on this part of the season. But our guys are responding,” Black said. “They’re focused. They know what’s going on. They’re aware of what’s around them. It’s a group that understands where they are.” David Dahl put the game out of reach with his first career grand slam in a seven-run seventh. Arizona has allowed 10 or more runs four times this season — three of those to Colorado.Story provided the big blow with his 32nd homer on a fastball from Silvino Bracho after the reliever took over when starter Zack Godley (14-9) struggled with his command.Marquez (12-9) had his blazing fastball and breaking ball working in recording his third straight double-digit strikeout performance. The hard-throwing righty now has 44 strikeouts spanning his last four starts, breaking the team record of 42 set by Pedro Astacio in 2000.“Kind of expect that these days,” Dahl said. “Feels like he strikes everyone out.”Marquez’s confidence level is at an all-time high. Still, Black had a little talk with him in the sixth — just to settle him down. It worked as he struck out Steven Souza Jr. to end the threat.“He’s not doing anything special. He’s being German Marquez,” Black said. “He’s repeating his delivery. He’s hitting his spots. He’s got good stuff. He’s pitching with conviction.”Charlie Blackmon, Tony Wolters and DJ LeMahieu each had three hits for Colorado, which bounced back after dropping two of three to the Dodgers over the weekend.Paul Goldschmidt celebrated his 31st birthday with a single and an RBI on a ground out. Goldschmidt has now reached base in 46 straight road games. His team has dropped three in a row.“Frustration is high right now. It has been for several days,” Diamondbacks Torey Lovullo said. “We are going to press on.”Godley was cruising along until the fifth when he kept trailing off to the side of the mound on his delivery maybe a little more than usual. With the bases loaded http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-terry-steinbach-jersey , he issued a four-pitch walk to LeMahieu that ended of his night.“This was one of those games where somebody needed to step up,” Godley said. “I did not do that.”TRAINER’S ROOMRockies: 3B Nolan Arenado has been getting treatment on his sore throwing shoulder. “There’s only so much they can do and only make me feel so good,” said Arenado, who went 0 for 4 with an RBI. “(Healing) comes with rest. There’s no time to rest right now.”DESMOND MILESTONEOn Sept. 10, 2009, with Washington, Ian Desmond made his major league debut. On his nine-year anniversary, he hit a double to lead off the fifth and start the big rally.“He was a young dynamic player with a skill set that you see present today,” Black said.GOOD BUDDIESArenado remembers competing against Goldschmidt in 2009 when he was at Casper of the rookie league and Goldschmidt with Missoula.“I was playing third base with him hitting and I was terrified,” Arenado said. “I was 18 and he was raking then, too. I was super scared.”FAMILIAR NAMEMarquez said he knows Astacio, who offers Marquez advice from time to time.“It means a lot to me,” Marquez said.UP NEXTDiamondbacks RHP Zack Greinke (13-9, 3.08 ERA) faces a Rockies team Tuesday night he’s beaten twice this season. The Rockies will throw RHP Antonio Senzatela (4-5, 4.92).
