The Phils/Mets series is important, but since one of them can catch the Brewers without knocking the Brewers out of the playoffs, it's not a huge deal. If the Brewers split, they will either gain a game on whoever is in 2nd if the other series is a sweep, or nothing will happen. Even if the Crew gets swept, the only way they lose ground would be if that series is split (though the Cards will have made up quite a bit of ground). The best case scenario would be a Brewers sweep and a sweep in the other series. But if the Brewers split, they will have pretty much the same leads, while 2 games closer to the finish.
