The A's win the AL West ... Texas lands in the wild card game.

By beating the Phillies this afternoon, the Nats wrap up the best NL record -- they will meet the St. Louis at Atlanta winner in the NLDS. The Giants will open at Cincinnati in the other NLDS.

The ALDS is still unsettled ...

If the Orioles lose tonight, they play at Texas Friday (no matter what the Yankees do tonight) in the wild card game.

If the Orioles win and the Yankees win, then Texas will play at Baltimore Friday. The Yankees will have the best AL record and will get the wild card winner.

If the Orioles win and the Yankees lose, then the Yankees will play at Baltimore Thursday -- the winner of that game hets the division and the best record in the AL. The loser has to play at Texas Friday.
