NL Central & NL West Still Unsettled After 162 Games

We have come to the end of the 2018 MLB season and yet 162 games weren't enough to settle either the NL Central or NL West divisions.

The Chicago Cubs will host the Milwaukee Brewers tomorrow afternoon at Wrigley Field to determine the NL Central race. Earlier today, the Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals 10-5 while the Brewers squashed the Detroit Tigers 11-0 for their seventh straight win. Will the Cubs win their third straight NL Central title or will the Brew Crew claim the crown for the first time since 2011?

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Dodgers will host the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium to determine the NL West. The Dodgers and Rockies both won squash matches as well defeating the San Francisco Giants and the Washington Nationals 15-0 and 12-0, respectively. Will the Dodgers win their sixth straight NL West title or will the Rockies, who have won 9 of their last 10 games, win the division for the first time? The Rockies' previous four post-season appearances including 2017 have all come via the NL Wild Card. 

Speaking of the NL Wild Card, don't feel bad for whoever loses these games tomorrow because they will have the opportunity to vie for the NL Wild Card spot on Tuesday.
