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.

The other Wild Card Series will consist of the No. 2 and No. 3 seeds. All games will take place at the site of the highest-seeded team.
