NL Playoffs Simplified

The Cardinals lost earlier this afternoon to the Brewers 5-4 which gave them the 3rd seed for the Playoffs. This means they will be going on the road for the NLDS.
The Phillies lost to the Marlins this afternoon which clinches the 2nd seed for the playoffs.

The Phillies could tie the Dodgers for the 1st seed, however the Dodgers have a better head to head record against the Phillies

This means the Cardinals will go to the NL West Champion on Wednesday and Thursday, while the Phillies will host the Wild Card team. One of those teams will be the Rockies, the other will be the Dodgers. Whichever team wins the West will have the home field advantage if they advance to the NLCS.

If the Rockies don't win both remaining games against the Dodgers the Dodgers will win the West and the Rockies will open all of their series on the road.
