You can see the schedule issues in the standings above for yourself, but again....it's 1910! They didn't know what the were doing back then!

As you can see, both Wildcard races were pretty wild! The Cubs caught and tied the Cardinals by going 12-4 in September while St. Louis only went 8-8. There was a one game playoff and the Cubs won it 4-3 behind 8 innings by Jake Arrieta over Mort Cooper. Anthony Rizzo drove in 2 runs and Ben Zobrist went 3-3 with 2 runs and 1 RBI.

Over in the AL, that sweep Seattle pulled off over Texas propelled them into the lead and they never gave it up, going 12-6 for the month. Washington just missed out on tying things up, going 11-7 while Baltimore fell apart and went just 7-8 for the month.

Here's the playoff matchups to start things off-

In the AL, it will be- 2001 Mariners vs. 1939 Yankees and 1948 Indians vs. 2019 Astros

In the NL, it will be 2016 Cubs vs. 2017 Dodgers and 1975 Reds vs. 1986 Mets
