All good things must come to an end.\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the final week of the 2010 regular season and that means there are only a few more days to enjoy the 14\/15 games-per-day marathon that MLB produces.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
As teams only have a handful of home games left to bring in the crowds, the majority of the games are being played during the evening in the States.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 However, there are six \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcearly\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 games to enjoy this week and they include some contests that could have a bearing on the playoff race in the National League.<\/p>\n
The Colorado Rockies and Atlanta Braves are both in day-game action on Wednesday.\u00c2\u00a0 Colorado are the outsiders heading into this final week and they need to go on another of their patented winning runs to leapfrog their way into the Wild Card spot.\u00c2\u00a0 The Braves are desperately hoping to hold onto that prize and a home series against Florida gives them an opportunity to do just that.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the top two teams in the NL West are in action.\u00c2\u00a0 Tim Lincecum is scheduled to take the mound for the Giants against the D-Backs, while Jon Garland should make the start for the Padres against the Cubs in a game that sneaks into our \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbefore midnight UK time\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 bracket.<\/p>\n
