What you should watch in the postseason race today: Can Bartolo settle the Wild Card wildness?
With only 12 days left in the season, every game has the potential to alter the postseason picture. As we enter the final days of the stretch run, we'll spotlight the biggest moments that we know you won't want to miss.
After wins for the Cardinals and Giants on Tuesday, and a Mets loss, the NL Wild Card is at a three-way deadlock:

You'll obviously want to keep an eye on all three teams today -- which you can do, because MLB helpfully spaced them out for you to watch on MLB.TV: At 3:10 PM ET, the Cardinals take on the Rockies at Coors Field. And at 10:10 PM ET, the Giants conclude their series against the Dodgers in Chavez Ravine.
But sandwiched between those two games, at 7:10 PM ET, you'll find the Braves-Mets matchup -- and you should keep your eye on that one. Why? Because
He sports a career 2.48 ERA against the Braves, who have an OPS of just .613 against him. The only team that has fared worse against Colon in his career is the Pirates -- and he's pitched against all 30 teams.
