After the Giants salvaged one win against the A’s this season in blowout fashion, we have effectively four teams vying for two spots

Phillies 27-26 (4 Nats, 3 Marlins)
Reds 27-27 (3 Brewers, 3 Twins)
Giants 26-26 (4 Rockies, 4 Padres)
Brewers 26-26 (3 Reds, 5 Cardinals)i think

It’s possible the Cardinals could fall apart and the Reds or Brewers move into 2nd place in NL Central, so the Cardinals fall into Wild Card. They have more games to play than anyone, and are only I game up on Reds and Brewers.

Having said all that, who gets the Wild Card spots? Will anyone get in at 29-31?

I think the Phillies have the easiest time of it. Nationals aren't so good this year. Marlins in fifth place. Reds and Milwaukee play each other for three, then the Reds have #4 Minnesota, and the Brewers have #6 St. Louis. Giants have #4 Padres and out-of-it Colorado, all at home.

It's going to be close. I think it's the Phillies and whichever of the remaining three get hot.
