The St. Louis Cardinals won the NL Central on the final day of the regular season, meaning they'll lock horns with the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS.

Game 1 of the Division Series will take place in Atlanta at SunTrust Park on Thursday, Oct. 3. After the second game on the road, there's an off day on Saturday and Games 3 and 4 (if necessary) will take place at St. Louis' home park, Busch Stadium, on Sunday and Monday.

If this series needs a Game 5, it will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 9 in Atlanta.

If the Cardinals get past the Braves, Game 1 of the NLCS will take place on Friday, Oct. 11. Whether they host or go on the road will be based upon their opponent. Following Game 1, the rest of the contests are scheduled for Oct. 12, 14, 15, 16, and 19.

If their magical run continues to the Fall Classic, Game 1 of the World Series will be on Tuesday, Oct. 22.
