Wild Card Speculation (Latest: 10 Game September Roadtrip)

[RU Rah Rah]

Assuming a split on Sunday, I am wondering who gets the advantage over the final 4 series. I guess it has to be the Phillies, right? They have 9 games against the Braves (who they have beaten like a drum all year) and the Nats, and 3 against the Fish. I can easily see them going maybe 8-4. The Brewers have 6 with the Cubs, and 3 each with the Reds and Pirates. I think 6-6 would be optimistic (2-4 with the Cubs, 2-1 Reds, 2-1 Pirates -- law of averages suggests that they should take at least one). Just guessing, obviously.....

I just want to post some more pictures of teams already eliminated to help me feel better:

 

Goodbye, Reds!
