⚾ Should the Phillies clinch, which team should they want to play in the MLBPlayoffs? RingtheBell NBCSPhilly
The Mets are almost certain now to end up with the top wild-card spot after being swept out of the NL East lead this weekend by the Braves. The Braves have not only a two-game lead over the Mets but the sweep won Atlanta the season series, 10-9. The only way for the Mets to win the division now is to sweep the Nationals while the Marlins sweep the Braves.
The Phillies did beat the Mets the last two times they faced Scherzer, but there's a marked difference between drawing deGrom, Scherzer and Chris Bassitt vs. drawing Adam Wainwright, Jordan Montgomery and Miles Mikolas. The most dangerous aspect of the Cardinals is the middle of their order with Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado. Goldschmidt, though, has slowed down after raking in his first 120 games. Over his last 29 games and 120 plate appearances, the likely NL MVP has hit .231 with a .681 OPS, striking out 30 times. Arenado in September has hit .220 with a .649 OPS.
