Postseason races on the season's last day

[whosafraidofluigirussolo]

It's a couple hours before game time. The AL playoff field is set, but the East and Central are both tied, with the de facto "winner" currently determined by tiebreaker rules. So either division could be won outright in game 162 (and obviously there are playoff seeding implications.)

The NL divisions all have been won and the 1-5 seeds are all set, but the last wild card is down to the Reds and Mets. Either team could claim the spot outright, and if neither does, the tiebreaker goes to the Reds.

Since the Mets are my second rooting interest, I am rooting for them to claim the final WC, but I'm also enjoying the chaos. It's been fun to keep an eye on races (the ones above, plus Tigers and Guardians) that still feel like they have real stakes.
