IF THE PLAYOFFS STARTED TODAY... September 18, 2010

Things are brewing and it could even crazier in the NL. While the AL top spot keeps flip flopping between the Rays and the Yankees, the 4 teams are all but set... especially with the Red Sox lost last night.

But with 2 games in the loss column separating the Braves, Giants, Padres and Rockies for 2 playoff spots, this October is promising some true insanity.

So here are the match ups going into today.

AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES

NEW YORK YANKEES (AL East Champion)
has home field advantage over
TEXAS RANGERS (AL West Champion)

MINNESOTA TWINS (AL Central Champion)
has home field advantage over
TAMPA BAY RAYS (AL Wild Card)



NATIONAL LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES (NL East Champion)
has home field advantage over
CINCINNATI REDS (NL Central Champion)

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS (NL West Champion)
has home field advantage over
ATLANTA BRAVES (NL Wild Card)

And oddly the team that could be the scariest is the Rockies, and they wouldn't even make the playoffs if they started today.

But they don't.
That doesn't stop me from doing this thread.
