th and final playoff berth in the National League on Saturday with a victory over the San Francisco Giants or a loss by the St. Louis Cardinals against the Chicago Cubs.Although the NL postseason field is nearly set Ketel Marte Jersey , the teams' respective seeding is still up in the air, with races between the Cubs and Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central as well as the Dodgers and Colorado Rockies in NL West separated by just a single game apiece with two days remaining.The NL East champion Atlanta Braves are also set to play October baseball, but they are fighting for home-field advantage in the Division Series.Here's how the standings look heading into Saturday's action:1. Cubs (94-66; NL Central leaders)2. Rockies (90-70; NL West leaders)3. Braves (90-70; NL East winners)4. Brewers (93-67; No. 1 wild card)5. Dodgers (89-71; No. 2 wild card)6. Cardinals (87-73; first team out)Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner said after Friday's win they don't want to rely on other teams' results to decide their playoff fate."We want to win our way into the postseason," Turner told reporters. "We don't want to rely on someone else losing to get us in. Sonother big one tomorrow."MLB's wild-card system makes these final few days crucial. The division winners advance directly to the NLDS, while the wild cards must face each other in a one-game elimination contest. So the Brewers could win 95 games and be ousted from championship contention because of one bad night.Along with the Dodgers vs. Giants and Cardinals vs. Cubs, the other key series this weekend include the Rockies taking on the Washington Nationals, the Braves battling the Philadelphia Phillies and the Brewers hosting the Detroit Tigers.Here's a prediction for how the NL playoffs will set up following the conclusion of the regular season and any necessary tiebreaker games:1. Cubs2. Braves3. Dodgers4. Brewers5. RockiesThat would pit the Braves against the Dodgers in the NLDS, while the Cubs would own home-field advantage throughout the NL postseason and face the winner of the wild-card game between the Brewers and Rockies as they seek their second World Series title in the past three years.

Although Realmuto’s name has perpetually been involved in trade talks—at the Winter Meetings, at the Trade Deadline http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-greinke-jersey , and even now—nothing has ever materialized. Outlets for other teams in the mix for a catcher have nonchalantly thrown out Realmuto’s name whenever trade talks have warmed up; people seem to have the idea that the rebuilding Marlins will throw him out there for whatever prospects get floated downstream.But so far, the Marlins haven’t taken the bait. (Fish puns, you guys). The Marlins have held onto the now Arb-2 catcher, regarding him as a young, controllable asset with surplus value in spades. Now, however, it seems like the Marlins are at a crossroads: extend or die. Although hypothetically, Realmuto’s contract can just get renewed on an arbitration deal, it’s been said that if he does return http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-greinke-jersey , it will be on an extension.In the meantime, it’s a seller’s market for catchers. This season in particular, a number of contending teams took mediocre catchers with them on their playoff journeys.2018 Playoff CatchersNameTeamPAHROBPSLGwOBAwRC+BB%K%ISOBABIPOffDefWARNameTeamPAHROBPSLGwOBAwRC+BB%K%ISOBABIPOffDefWARHere, the Marlins are in the driver seat. It’s a win-win for them. If any of these teams want their hands on the new Crown Prince of Catching, they’re going to have to make the Marlins an offer they can’t refuse. That’s mainly why Realmuto hasn’t been dealt in the first place; the Marlins know Realmuto’s worth, and they won’t compromise on a less-than-satisfactory deal because at the end of the day, Realmuto is also the perfect building block to build the franchise on. As far as numbers go, I touched on what I think Realmuto would get in our inaugural Fish Stripes Roundtable:After Realmuto, barring a move for a more adequate backup http://www.diamondbacksfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-greinke-jersey , Wallach and Holaday are likely to return. Wallach is under total team control and could be had at the league minimum. Bryan Holaday is somehow still arbitration-eligible, but given his status as a backup, it’s likely he’ll take whatever the Marlins will offer. And then we wait for WillBanfield. Converted shortstop AustinNola is still lurking in Triple-A. Although he consistently got on base last season, he lacks power. There may also be questions about his catching abilities; given that he only converted two years ago, the Marlins will want to be completely sure that he can handle major league pitching before giving him the call. JarettRindfleisch is one more interesting name—literally and figuratively—to keep in mind. A consistent on-base machine, Rindfleisch butchered his way to the Florida State League All Star Game with a .540 OBP in 13 games last year at High-A Jupiter before going to the 60-day DL in June. He won’t make an impact for another couple of years, but he may be a guy to keep your eye on.
