He became the first player with three home runs and two stolen bases in a game since at least 1900 and the first player since RBIs became official in 1920 with 10 RBIs and five extra-base hits in a game. Ohtani also became the second player since at least 1901 with six hits in a game, including five for extra bases, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

Mets / Braves are tied for the final Wild Card slot in the NL. Both at 88-72.

They are playing a doubleheader today. Both are makeup games from rain outs last week.

Mets just scored 6 runs in the 8th and now lead 6-3

Game 2 is slated to start immediately after.

If they split - both get in.

If one of them sweeps these two games, that team is in and the other is eliminated with Arizona (89-73) squeezing in there.

Considering the scenario - I would think they split.

Game 1 winner is in. No real reason to burn the bullpen up in a meaningless game 2 - especially with the actual playoffs starting tomorrow.

My bet? D-Backs are fucked.

Ozzie Albies just jacked a bases loaded double to score 3.

Braves 7
Mets 6

End of the 8th

Fucking crazy.

Mets win. They are in.

Braves need to win Game 2 to claim that last Wild Card.

If they don't - D-Backs are in.
I would assume we'll see Severino pulled and the Mets will throw out a rag arm.

I don't bet baseball often - but I think this SHOULD BE an easy one for the Braves.

Predictably, Severino pulled.
Insert Joey Lucchesi.
0-1 with a 10.38 ERA and 2.08 WHIP.

LMAO. That counts as a rag arm.

It looks like the Cheatros are about get elimated. 5-2 Detroit mid-8. If KC wins today, Baltimore is out and the Yankees play KC.
