The two teams in each division that clinch playoff spots in the second half of the season will face each other. In the East, the Bowling Green Hot Rods won the first half title, while the Lansing Lugnuts earned the first half wild card. Those two teams will face each other in the other Eastern Division Semifinals. (The winner of Bowling Green-Lansing then will have home-field advantage in the best-of-three Eastern Division Championship Series, which is scheduled to begin on Saturday, Sept. 8.

The TinCaps play their final three games of the regular season on the road Saturday-Monday at West Michigan in Comstock Park, outside of Grand Rapids.
Since moving into Parkview Field in 2009, the TinCaps have made the MWL Playoffs in eight of their first nine seasons--the winningest track record in the circuit. That includes winning the Midwest League title in 2009 and also claiming Eastern Division crowns in 2012 and '17. 
This year's team is attempting to overcome a rash of injuries that have eight key players on the Disabled List, top San Diego Padres pitching prospect MacKenzie Gore among them. Nevertheless, the TinCaps just ended an 11-game road trip by winning three of their last four against the South Bend Cubs. At home, Fort Wayne has won five consecutive games.
