(Then again, they’re gonna have to send MLB a muffin basket for the seven-inning doubleheader thing.) It’s not a brutally tough schedule in terms of opponents, but it remains very difficult in terms of game volume and no off-days. And then, if necessary, they have to play the Tigers in a doubleheader the day after the regular season concludes. So the next tiebreaker is the intradivision record, and that’s going to depend on how the two teams play over the final week.)Īlso, a reminder of the Cardinals’ remaining games: they get the Royals for three, yes, but then they have five in four days against the Brewers (who are still fighting for second in the division AND/OR a Wild Card spot). ( If you’re starting to wonder about tiebreakers for the division, it’s head-to-head as the first tiebreaker, but the Cubs and Cardinals finished 5-5 against each other. So, even if the Cardinals do the very unlikely thing, the Cubs also have to do a very unlikely thing to get passed up. Well I have good news! The Cubs would have to go 2-5 over their last seven to get passed by the Cardinals in that scenario, and four of those seven games come against the Pirates. If you want to let yourself get REALL nervous, you start thinking about how the Cardinals are a mere two games back in the loss column, and what if they persevere through the brutal schedule to go 8-2 in their final 10 games?
