If playoffs started today, Braves would not have home-field advantage

Here’s a quick playoff breakdown heading into the weekend:

- The Braves (89-70) and Rockies (89-70) are currently tied for the No. 2 seed in the National League. The Rockies would have home-field advantage after winning the season series against the Braves.

- Rockies win four straight vs. Braves in Atlanta in August

- The Cubs (92-66) currently own the National League’s best record, but are still battling the Brewers (92-67) for the NL Central title.

- The Dodgers (88-71) could still overtake the Rockies and win the NL West, or could fall out of the playoffs altogether as they battle the Cardinals (87-72) for the final wild-card spot.

- This weekend's National League schedule

Confused? Here are two quick things to remember if you are a Braves fan:

- If the Braves have home-field advantage in the division series, they will play Thursday, Oct. 4 and Friday, Oct. 5 at SunTrust Park.

- If the Braves don’t have home-field advantage, they will play Sunday, Oct. 7 and possibly Monday, Oct. 8 at SunTrust Park.
