Massive Tie
Here's the best things to happen tonight to lead to a massive tie in the NL:
- Florida defeats New York.
- Cincinnati defeats San Diego.
- Chicago defeats Los Angeles.
- Houston defeats St. Louis.
- San Francisco defeats Colorado.
- Philadelphia defeats Atlanta.
The last one is a tough one. The Braves stay on the edge of the wild card race, so a victory by Atlanta moves them closer. But to be realistic, Philadelphia is three games ahead the Braves, so they're more likely to have a chance to be involved in a tie. It won't be a disaster if Atlanta wins, but at this point, for the scenario to at least have a chance, it's better for the Phillies to stay close or move up.
And we're also getting closer to a three way tie in the AL Central. A Detroit loss coupled with Minnesota and Chicago wins makes that more likely.
