You'd want St. Louis to beat Milwaukee? Does it have to do with them having to play Monday, Tuesday and then Thursday (against us) in that scenario? I'd rather not have to deal with Milwaukee's offense or bullpen anymore.
Magic Numbers end of play September 16 Brewers - 11 Braves - 10 Rockies - 9 Dodgers - 8 Cardinals - 8 Diamondbacks - 4 Phillies - 4 Nationals - 2 Pirates - 2 8 for a playoff spot, 11 for division and home field
