For the first time in baseball history, two divisions will be decided be tiebreaker games in the same season.
The Chicago Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers both finished 95-67, tied atop the National League Central. In the NL West, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies each went 91-71.
Monday's winners move on to the NL Division Series, while the two losers will meet on Tuesday in the NL wild-card game. These are the first tiebreaker games required since 2013, when the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Texas Rangers to win the American League wild card.
