14 games into the division series, and all eight teams remain alive. Quite a contrast to last year, where we only played two games over the minimum, with 14 games being enough to settle all four division series. Depending on how results go today, we could even see the golden scenario for MLB, the broadcasters and sponsors, where every contest goes the maximum five games. The only time that has happened in the divisional era was in 2012; the Cardinals will be hoping for a repeat, not only as the only team this post-season who took part that year, but also because they beat Washington, scoring four in the ninth inning of Game 5.
