Tiebreakers

From Major League Baseball:

 

If the Mets and Phillies finish tied with both teams assured of a playoff berth, the Mets win the NL East by virtue of their 11-7 record vs. the Phillies this season. Philadelphia's magic number to clinch at least the Wild Card is two. To clinch the division crown, the number is three.

 

Should the Phils, Mets, Brewers finish the regular season with identical records, the Phillies and Mets would play on Monday, Sept. 29, at Citizens Bank Park, with the winner being declared the NL East champions. The loser would host Milwaukee on Tuesday, Sept. 30, with the winner of that game advancing to the postseason as the NL Wild Card entry.
