Well, the sweep hurts our chances of winning the division, but it really helps our chances of making the playoffs. Winning the wild card might not actually be the worst thing for this team. In a short series the only 2 teams that can really match up with our 1-2 starters are Milwaukee and Arizona. Obviously we can't possibly play Milwuakee in a short series, and if we win the wild card we'd likely avoid Arizona and play the East winner in the NLDS. I don't think the Mets or Phillies match up well with us in a short series at all. The only question is whether or not home field advantage is more important that all that.
