The Dodgers are about to play another end-of-season
tiebreaker. It’s a scenario that hasn’t been kind to them over the years.Los
Angeles will take on Colorado for the NL West title Monday http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-roberto-clemente-jersey ,
one of two one-game playoffs that day in the National League. The Cubs and
Brewers also need to break a tie for the NL Central.These aren’t elimination
games — the losers will end up as the NL wild cards — but there will still be
some pressure, since the division winners head straight to the Division Series.
The tiebreakers are considered part of the regular season, and stats are counted
accordingly.For the Dodgers, these not-quite-postseason games have been fraught
with peril. When they were in Brooklyn, the Dodgers finished tied with the rival
Giants for the 1951 NL pennant, and then famously lost a three-game series to
New York on a home run by Bobby Thomson . The 1946 pennant was also decided by a
best-of-three tiebreaker, with the Cardinals beating Brooklyn in two straight
.After moving to Los Angeles, the Dodgers did win a best-of-three series against
the Milwaukee Braves for the 1959 pennant, but three years later, it was the
Giants again who stood in the way. San Francisco scored four runs in the ninth
inning at Dodger Stadium for the decisive victory of a three-game tiebreaker
series for the 1962 pennant.A one-game playoff in 1980 was no better for the
Dodgers, who were beaten 7-1 by Houston for the NL West championship.The Rockies
have a much happier (and shorter) history with these games. They won a wild card
in 2007 by beating San Diego in a one-game playoff. That game went 13 innings,
with Colorado prevailing 9-8 when Matt Holliday may or may not have touched the
plate when he was credited with the winning run .The Cubs won the NL wild card
in 1998 by beating San Francisco 5-3 in a one-game playoff.Elsewhere around the
majors:LIKE CLOCKWORKAssuming Nolan Arenado doesn’t hit 12 in Colorado’s playoff
game Monday, Oakland’s Khris Davis will be this year’s major league home run
leader with 48. Davis Kent
Tekulve Jersey , however, was getting attention for a different
reason Sunday. He finished the season with a .247 batting average — the same
figure he had in each of the previous three years. His career average is
.248.HIGHLIGHTThe Atlanta Braves are NL East champions and will play in the NL
Division Series against … somebody. Once Monday’s playoff games are over, the
Braves will know their opponent — it’s whoever wins the NL West. The postseason
will be a chance for a wide audience to see star rookie Ronald Acuna Jr., who
showed off his talent Sunday with a leaping catch high against the wall in left
field on a drive by Philadelphia’s Carlos Santana.LINE OF THE WEEKThe Rockies
forced their way into that playoff for the NL West title by routing Washington
12-0 on Sunday. Charlie Blackmon hit for the cycle with a triple in the first
inning, a homer in the third, a single in the fifth and a double in the
eighth.Colorado had another impressive individual performance earlier in the
week when German Marquez began a start against Philadelphia with eight straight
strikeouts , tying a record. Jim Deshaies set the modern record by striking out
his first eight batters in a 1986 game, and Jacob deGrom matched the feat in
2014. Marquez is set to start Monday’s playoff game. SAN FRANCISCO — One day
after knocking Colorado out of first place, the San Francisco Giants go for a
three-game sweep Sunday afternoon in a game that could drop the Rockies out of
playoff position.Giants rookie Dereck Rodriguez (6-3, 2.35 ERA) and Rockies
sophomore Antonio Senzatela (4-6, 5.01) are the scheduled starters in a game
that will begin with the Rockies (81-67) a half-game behind the Los Angeles
Dodgers (82-67) in the National League West but a half-game ahead of the St.
Louis Cardinals (81-68) in the race for the second NL wild-card spot.The Dodgers
and Cardinals will go head-to-head Sunday night.Article continues below ...On
the eve of a showdown series in Los Angeles that begins Monday, the Rockies have
been shut out in consecutive games by a Giants team that was riding an 11-game
losing streak when Colorado came to town.After a solo effort by Chris Stratton
in a 2-0 Giants victory Friday night, Madison Bumgarner went the first six
innings of a 3-0 whitewashing Saturday. He also doubled and scored.The
Rockies http://www.piratesfanproshop.com/authentic-bill-mazeroski-jersey ,
who were shut out in back-to-back games for the first time this season, hope to
have better luck against Rodriguez, whom they have seen twice this season —
including in his major league debut in May. They’ve touched the rookie for five
runs (two earned) and 11 hits in 9 1/3 innings.Outfielder David Dahl provided
the only run the Rockies scored against Rodriguez in six innings last w
