It’s going to take 163 games to decide the winners of the NL Central and NL West Divisions.

The Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs finished tied for the Central and the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers were even in the West after 162 games, so the teams will square off in a one-game tiebreaker for the division crown.

ESPN has exclusive coverage of both tiebreaker games on Monday, October 1, beginning with the Brewers at the Cubs at 1/noon c, and followed by the Rockies at the Dodgers at 4/3c.

The winners of each of these games will be division champions and advance to the National League Division Series beginning Thursday, October 4, on FS1 and MLB Network.

The loser of each of these games will play in the NL Wild Card single-game playoff at either Milwaukee or Chicago on ESPN on Tuesday, October 2, at 8/7c.
