Baseball playoff scenarios (records through Friday):
AL Central
If the Chicago White Sox (86-73) and Minnesota Twins (87-73) are still within a half-game of each other after play is completed Sunday, Chicago must make up a rainout against the Detroit Tigers on Monday. If the White Sox and Twins finish with the same record, they would play a tiebreaker game Tuesday in Chicago.
NL East
If the New York Mets (88-72) and Philadelphia Phillies (90-70) finish with the same record and both have clinched a playoff spot, the Mets win the division and the Phillies are the wild card. If the Mets and Phillies finish with the same record and the Milwaukee Brewers (89-71) win the wild card, the Mets and Phillies would play at Philadelphia in a tiebreaker.
NL Wild Card
In the event New York or Philadelphia ties for the wild card and cannot win the division, they would host Milwaukee in a tiebreaker.
Three teams with same record
d then play a wild-card tiebreaker against the Brewers.
