The Colorado Rockies and San Diego Padres have finished 162 games and they're tied for the wild card at 89-73.

 

There will be a one-game playoff Monday in Denver. It will be televised on TBS at 4:37 pm PT.

This will be the 11th tiebreaker in major league history.

Previous tiebreaker playoffs:

  1. 1946 NL - St. Louis beats Brooklyn, 2 games to 0 (4-2, 8-4)
  2. 1948 AL - Cleveland beats Boston in one game playoff, 8-3
  3. 1951 NL - New York beats Brooklyn, 2 games to 1 (3-1, 0-10, 5-4)
  4. 1959 NL - Los Angeles beats Milwaukee, 2 games to 0 (3-2, 6-5)
  5. 1962 NL - San Francisco beats Los Angeles, 2 games to 1 (8-0, 7-8, 6-4)
  6. 1978 AL East - New York beats Boston 5-4.
  7. 1980 NL West - Houston beats Los Angeles, 7-1.
  8. 1995 AL West - Seattle beats California 9-1.
  9. 1998 NL Wild Card - Chicago beats San Francisco 5-3.
  10. 1999 NL Wild Card - New York beats Cincinnati 5-0.

In the Griddle contest to pick the last five, it's down to two entries. If the Rockies beat San Diego, ToyCannon will win. If the Padres win, David Y will be the winner.

Jake Peavy versus the Rockies.

Josh Fogg versus the Padres.
