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)

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?

Philadelphia and Milwaukee hold the tiebreaker over SF (best record within their respective division).  SF must play 6-2 ball this week and hope for the best...

Note: Everyone will play 60 games unless something weird happens this week.

I think Cardinals will play 58.  Pirates have been key.  Reds beat them 6 out of 7. Cards just swept 5.
