After two days of postseason baseball produced three wild-card series sweeps, only one spot in the Division Series remains to be decided Thursday. 

The Brewers' eighth-inning rally Wednesday against the Mets forced a Game 3, which will determine who moves on to face the Phillies in the NLDS. 

The NL Central champs will play host once again, sending Tobias Myers to the hill at American Family Field against Jose Quintana and the Mets.
