Item AII C-2.0 NLDS/ALDS Week #22
1.) The team with the best record in each league will have home field advantage against the team with the worst record in the league.  However, such an opponent cannot be a team in that team's division. In this event, the team with the best record would play the Division Winner with the worst record.
2.) The #1 and #2 best teams in each league have home-field advantage in the NLDS/ALDS

Final score in the NL Wildcard matchup:
St. Louis Cardinals 1612.85
New York Mets 1561.83
According to rules the Cards advance to play the Phillies in St. Louis while the Cubs take on San Francisco in Chicago


In the American League:
Oakland As 2078.82
Texas Rangers 1510.76
Again, according to the rules, Seattle is home to play Baltimore;  White Sox travel to Oakland

With games in progress, the NLDS is turning into a lopsided butt-kickin', while the ALDS remains close and competitive.

After a big opening night, the :CHC: are completely destroying my poor :SF:--at last count, the :CHC: were leading by some 500 points. :doh:
In the other NL matchup, the :PHI: have sprinted out to a 200 point lead over the :STL:  After the Wildcard Round, we know the :STL: are capable of mounting a comeback.

In the ALDS, the :BAL: and :SEA: are separated by a mere 16 points, so it promises to be a hard fought contest to the end.  The other AL contest finds the :CHW: with a 216 point lead over the :OAK:.  We know the resilience of the :OAK: after last week, and as a defending champion, that match is far from over.

Cubs are my pick to go all the way.  They have a great team!

My team picked the best time to have their worst week of the season.  :doh: :puke:

My team picked the best time to have their worst week of the season.  :doh: :puke:

I second that notion!  :SEA: has struggled with pitching all season and now my hitting has left too.
