NATIONAL LEAGUE
ATLANTA magic number is TWO over STL (seeding and HFA over STL)

TUE WILDCARD is CINN @ PITT

THUR NLDS:
WILDCARD winner @ #1 seed (ATL or STL)
#3 Dodgers @ #2 seed (ATL or STL)

On Tues, is it Latos vs. Liriano? Is Cueto really pitching on SUN, or is he a scratch?

“Is Cueto really pitching on SUN, or is he a scratch?”

Cueto is scratched for Sunday. Game means nothing

Your comment was posted before last night's Atlanta game. As of now St. Louis is at, 96W-65L. Atlanta is at, 95W-66L, having lost to the Phillies last night. Two games left to play for both teams.

Right now, St. Louis is one full game ahead of Atlanta, for HFA. Very important as Atlanta is actually below .500 in "away" games.

My mistake - One game left. If Atlanta wins and St. Louis loses, best Atlanta has is a tie.
