We have our first eliminated team of the 2013 Division Series, and its the Atlanta Braves. The Dodgers won a wild 4-3 game on Monday night to punch their ticket to the NLCS, and they'll await their opponent. But who will it be? Well, we don't know yet after the Cardinals forced a Game 5 by winning 2-1 in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile in the AL, the Rays stayed alive thanks to Jose Lobaton, and the A's pushed the Tigers to the brink of elimination, despite a fracas in the ninth.
