Dodgers, Rockies to play Game 163 for NL West title

Share

The Dodgers and Rockies' regular seasons will not end after 162 games. It's on to Game 163 for the two NL West foes. 

After the Giants failed to play spoiler Sunday in a 14-0 blowout loss to the Dodgers, and the Rockies beat the Nationals 12-0, Los Angeles and Colorado will square off in one more game for the NL West title on Monday. 

The Dodgers are looking to push their streak of NL West championships to six straight seasons. The Rockies have never won the NL West. 

Game 163 will be played at Dodgers Stadium after beating the Rockies 12 times to seven losses this season. 

Walker Buehler will start on the mound for the Dodgers. It is not yet known who the Rockies will start. 

In five starts against the Rockies this season, Buehler is 0-1 with a 2.61 ERA. He is also 3-3 with a 2.12 ERA at home in 12 appearances. 

The loser will play either the Cubs or Brewers in the NL Wild Card Game, who, guess what, will also be playing a Game 163 Monday for the NL Central title.

This is the first time in MLB history two tiebreakers will determine division winners.
