In order to stay alive, the Rockies must win and hope the Padres lose again to the Brewers. If those two results occur and both the New York Mets and Philadelphia also win Sunday, it would create a four-way tie for the final two playoff berths in the league.

In that case, the Mets and Phillies would play for the NL East title on Monday. The loser of that game would go into a two-day, three-team tiebreaking set of games for the wild card, with the Rockies getting the choice of having a bye on Tuesday or playing both games at home.
