It’s playoff time in Major League Baseball with a pair of tiebreaker games on Monday launching the month-long chase to the World Series.

The Brewers will be at the Cubs after the two tied for the National League Central title, and the Rockies will travel to the Dodgers to decide the National League West championship.

Win or lose, all four teams will play on, either as division champions or National League wild-card teams.

Sunday started tense, with the four teams tied entering the day, but it was smooth sailing for all. Milwaukee blitzed Detroit 11-0, the Cubs beat the Cardinals 10-5, Colorado destroyed Washington 12-0 and the Dodgers trounced the Giants 15-0.

The other four other divisions were wrapped up long before Sunday’s final day of the regular season, with the Red Sox (East), Indians (Central) and Astros (West) claiming American League division titles and the Braves winning the National League East.

The title-winning Red Sox, Indians, Astros and Braves will advance to the postseason along with the Brewers, Cubs, Rockies and Dodgers plus the Yankees and Athletics, the two American League wild-card teams.

Wild-card games on Tuesday (losers of Brewers-Cubs and Rockies-Dodgers games) and Wednesday (Athletics at Yankees) will narrow the field to eight teams, four in each league, as the chase begins in earnest for the World Series crown. The best-of-seven National League Division Series will open on Thursday with the pairings to be determined. The American League Division Series will begin the next day with the Yankees-Athletics winner at the Red Sox and the Indians and Astros meeting in Houston. League championship series open Oct. 12 in the National League and Oct. 13 in the American League.

Then it is on to the World Series starting Oct. 23.
