MLB playoff field finally set: Full schedule, matchups

(This story was updated to add new information and change a photo.)

Matchups for Major League Baseball’s playoffs are finally set.

Twenty-eight of 30 teams finished their regular season Sunday, and the results ensured that the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves played one more day of games — yes, Nos. 161 and 162, at Atlanta’s Truist Field — to determine the final two National League wild-card teams.

And both clubs were able to don their ‘October Ready’ officially sanctioned shirts after splitting a doubleheader, the Mets winning an 8-7 thriller in Game 1 while the Braves took advantage of a Mets team with nothing to play for to win the nightcap, 3-0.

That set the last of the National League wild card series, as their traveling secretaries could finally hit “book” on hotel rooms and tell their pilots exactly where they should punch it in the team plane – the Braves, to San Diego and the Mets to Milwaukee.

Going home? The Arizona Diamondbacks, who like the Braves and Mets finished 89-73 but lost tiebreakers to both teams, ensuring their reign as NL champions ends after one year.

How will the NL survivors be seeded?

The San Diego Padres are the No. 1 wild card and No. 4 NL seed.

The Braves are the No. 5 seed, by virtue of winning the season series against the Mets, 7-6.
