The 2019 MLB regular season is now over, and the playoffs begin Tuesday with the National League wild-card game.

St. Louis captured the NL Central on Sunday, forcing the Brewers to settle for the second wild-card spot and finalizing the playoff bracket.

The Brewers will travel to D.C. to face Max Scherzer and the Nationals on Tuesday for the winner-take-all NL wild-card game. The Rays and A's will play in the AL wild-card game Wednesday in Oakland. Then, the division series begin.

The World Series will start on the same night as the NBA's regular season opening night.
